ABSTRACT

Ras en Nakurah to Haifa (fig· 9) Between Ras en Nakurah and the port of Haifa, a distance of 20

miles, the coast trends in a general south-south-westerly direction. In this stretch there are low sandy beaches, and a few rocky points and fringing rocks north of Acre. The coastal plain is from 2 to 4 miles broad, widening into the plain of Acre in the south, and backed inland by the mountains of Galilee (p. 15).
