Jisr az-Zarqa, Coastal Arab town in northern Israel.

Located along the Mediterranean coast, Jisr az-Zarqa spans 1.5 square kilometers with a population of approximately 15,000 residents in the Haifa District.

The settlement originated during the Ottoman period when members of the Ghawarina Bedouin tribe established a permanent presence near the Taninim Stream marshlands.

The local population maintains traditional fishing practices and agricultural methods while developing new economic opportunities through community-based tourism initiatives.

The Israel National Trail passes through the town, connecting hikers to both the Mediterranean beachfront and the archaeological sites of the surrounding area.

Archaeological excavations have uncovered pottery from the first century CE and remains of structures dating back to the Byzantine period near the town center.
