Despite its small size, Israel is home to a variety of geographic features, from the [[Negev]] desert in the south to the mountain ranges of the [[Galilee]], [[Mount Carmel|Carmel]], and the [[Golan Heights|Golan]] in the north. The [[Israeli Coastal Plain]] on the shores of the Mediterranean is home to seventy percent of the nation's population.
East of the central highlands lies the [[Jordan Rift Valley]], which forms a small part of the 6,500-kilometer (4,040-mi) [[Great Rift Valley]]. The [[Jordan River]] runs along the Jordan Rift Valley, from [[Mount Hermon]] through the [[Hulah Valley]] and the [[Sea of Galilee]] to the [[Dead Sea]], the lowest point on the surface of the Earth.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/MFAArchive/1990_1999/1999/4/FOCUS%20on%20Israel-%20The%20Living%20Dead%20Sea |publisher=Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs |accessdate=2007-07-20 |date=1999-04-01 |title=The Living Dead Sea}}</ref> Further south is the [[Arabah]], ending with the [[Gulf of Eilat]], part of the [[Red Sea]].
