Ma'alot-Tarshiha, Mixed urban community in Upper Galilee, Israel

Ma'alot-Tarshiha rises 600 meters above sea level, stretching across 2.7 square miles of land in the northern region of Israel, 20 kilometers east of Nahariya.

The merger of Jewish Ma'alot and Arab Tarshiha in 1963 formed this distinctive municipality, replacing two transit camps and incorporating a village with Roman-era foundations.

The population of 22,521 residents represents a diverse mix of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities, reflecting the multicultural nature of modern Israeli society.

The Tefen Industrial Zone near Ma'alot-Tarshiha houses over 100 factories and workshops, providing employment opportunities for local residents and supporting regional economic growth.

The city organizes the International Symposium for Stone Sculpturing annually since 1992, transforming the urban landscape with permanent outdoor stone art installations.
