The Lower Galilee (Hebrew: הגליל התחתון, romanized: HaGalil HaTaḥton; Arabic: الجليل الأسفل, romanized: Al Jalil Al Asfal) is a region within the Northern District of Israel. The Lower Galilee is bordered by the Jezreel Valley to the south; the Upper Galilee to the north, from which it is separated by the Beit HaKerem Valley; the Jordan Rift Valley with the Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee to the east; and to the west, a segment of the Northern Coastal Plain known as the Zvulun Valley (Zebulon Valley), stretching between the Carmel ridge and Acre. The Lower Galilee is the southern part of the Galilee. In Josephus' time, it was known to stretch in breadth from Xaloth (Iksal) to Bersabe, and in length from Cabul to Tiberias,[1] a region that contains around 470 km2.[2] It is called "Lower" since it is less mountainous than the Upper Galilee. The peaks of the Lower Galilee rise to 500 m (1,600 ft) above sea level. The tallest peaks are Mount Kamon (598 m (1,962 ft)) at the northern part of the Lower Galilee, and Mount Tabor (588 m (1,929 ft)) in the southern part.
^Josephus, The Jewish War 3.3.1 (3.35). In The Jewish War 3.3.1., the Greek word used for the city is Cabul (Gr. Χαβουλών), although in Whiston's English translation the word is erroneously written as Zebulon. Cf. Josephus (1968), Jacob N. Simchoni (ed.), The History of the War of the Jews with the Romans (in Hebrew) (2 ed.), Ramat-Gan: Masada. p. 565.
