Golan Heights
The Golan Heights is a basaltic plateau in southwestern Syria, extending about 44 miles (71 km) from north to south and about 27 miles (43 km) from east to west at its widest point, covering approximately 444 square miles (1,150 square km). The terrain is characterized by its hilly and elevated nature, with an average altitude of about 2,500 feet (760 meters). The region rises northward toward Mount Hermon, and slopes down to about 1,300 feet (400 meters) elevation along the Yarmouk River in the south. The northern half features steeper, more rugged topography, including the foothills of Mount Hermon, while the southern portion presents a more level plateau. The western edge is marked by a rock escarpment that drops approximately 1,600 feet (500 meters) to the Jordan River Valley and the Sea of Galilee. This varied terrain includes volcanic cones, rocky outcrops, and fertile valleys, contributing to its strategic significance and diverse ecosystems.
