Israel
Israel's topography is strikingly diverse, encompassing a variety of landscapes within its relatively small area of approximately 8,522 square miles (22,072 Km²). The coastal plain stretches along the Mediterranean Sea, characterized by sandy shores and fertile land that supports extensive agriculture, particularly in the central regions near cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa. East of this plain rises the Central Highlands, which includes the mountainous terrains of the Galilee and the Judean Hills. Here, elevations peak at about 3,963 feet (1,208 meters) at Mount Meron, interspersed with lush valleys such as the Jezreel Valley, known for its rich agricultural soil. The Jordan Rift Valley, a major geological feature, runs along the eastern border and includes the Jordan River, Lake Tiberias, and the Dead Sea, the latter being the lowest point on Earth's surface at around 1,312 feet (400 meters) below sea level. Southward lies the Negev Desert, which covers over half of Israel's land area and features arid landscapes, rocky canyons, and unique geological formations. This combination of coastal, highland, valley, and desert terrains not only shapes the geography but also influences the climate and biodiversity across the country.

The name Majdal Shams is of Aramaic origin, meaning: "tower of sun," possibly in reference to the town's elevation. Another hypothesis suggests that the town was originally called Majdal al-Sham (Majdal of Damascus) to distinguish it from the towns of al-Majdal on the Mediterranean coast and al-Majdal on the…
