Jordan Valley, Geographic valley between Israel and Jordan
The Jordan Valley stretches 105 kilometers from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea, forming a natural border between Israel and Jordan.
The valley underwent significant population changes after 1967, when the number of inhabitants on the Jordanian side decreased from 60,000 to 5,000 by 1971.
Each year, the valley forms part of a migration corridor for 500 million birds of 200 species traveling between Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The region contains two major water bodies connected by the Jordan River, with rainfall occurring primarily between October and May.
This valley marks the lowest elevation point on Earth, beginning at 212 meters below sea level and descending further toward the Dead Sea.
Part of: Jordan Rift Valley, Land of Israel
