Geography of Sharon

The Plain of Sharon is a segment of the coastal plain, which is bordered on the west by the Mediterranean Sea. It lies between the Plain of Dor and the seaport of Dor to the north and the Plain of Philistia and the port of Joppa to the south (Aharoni, Land of the Bible, 25; Curtis, Oxford Bible Atlas, 21). The Samarian mountains border the plain to the east (Karmon, “Geographical Influences,” 46). The plain itself stretches a length of about 50 miles and a width of 9–10 miles (Pfeiffer and Vos, Bible Lands, 102). The Plain of Sharon is divided into three primary segments that run north to south: western, central, and eastern segments (Karmon, “Geographical Influences,” 43–46).
