Ma'ale Adumim, Israeli settlement and city in Quds Governorate, Palestine
Ma'ale Adumim extends across hilltops at 500 meters elevation, featuring residential neighborhoods connected by roads that wind through the rocky terrain.
The settlement emerged in 1975 when 23 families established a presence, later receiving official recognition as a local council in 1979 and city status in 1991.
The population includes a mix of secular and religious residents, with significant communities from the United States and former Soviet Union contributing to local diversity.
Located just three miles from Jerusalem, the settlement maintains educational facilities, healthcare services, and a commercial district with over 100 businesses.
The name references the red limestone formations along the ancient route between the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem, marking historical tribal boundaries.
