The Jezreel Valley (from the Hebrew: עמק יזרעאל, romanized: ʿĒmeq Yīzrəʿēl), or Marj Ibn Amir (Arabic: مرج ابن عامر, romanized: Marj Ibn ʿĀmir), also known as the Valley of Megiddo[dubious ],[1][2][better source needed][3] is a large fertile plain and inland valley in the Northern District of Israel. It is bordered to the north by the highlands of the Lower Galilee region, to the south by the Samarian highlands, to the west and northwest by the Mount Carmel range, and to the east by the Jordan Valley, with Mount Gilboa marking its southern extent. The largest settlement in the valley is the city of Afula, which lies near its center.
