Map of Israel

Here’s a map to help you understand the geography of the country. And perhaps it can help you plan your next trip here.

Map of Israel with its regions, cities and landscapes

Israel is a small country — about 470 kilometers from Metula in the north to Eilat in the south, and just 135 kilometers across at its widest point. Yet it packs in snow-capped Mount Hermon, the green Galilee, the coastal plain with Tel Aviv, the hills of Jerusalem, the Judean desert and the Negev.

For orientation: the distance from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is roughly an hour by car; from Jerusalem down to the Dead Sea, about forty minutes; and from the center to Haifa in the north, around an hour and a half.
