Lower Galilee, Mountainous region in Northern Israel.

The Lower Galilee extends between the Jezreel Valley and Upper Galilee, featuring limestone hills that reach elevations of up to 598 meters at Mount Kamon.

During the Biblical period, the tribes of Zebulon, Naphtali, Issachar, and Asher inhabited this territory until the Assyrian conquest in the 8th century BCE.

The region contains numerous archaeological sites from Roman and Byzantine periods, including the ancient cities of Sepphoris and Tiberias.

The area receives substantial annual rainfall between 900-1200 millimeters, creating fertile conditions for agriculture and supporting diverse plant species.

The geological composition of Lower Galilee includes three distinct zones with different rock formations: western, central, and eastern sections.
