Geography Lesson - Where is Israel?

The geography of Israel is very diverse, with desert conditions in the south, and snow-capped mountains in the north. Israel is located at 31°30′N 34°45′E at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea in western Asia.[2] It is bounded to the north by Lebanon, the northeast by Syria, the east by Jordan and the West Bank, and to the southwest by Egypt, with this border also being the border between Asia and Africa.[2] To the west of Israel is the Mediterranean Sea, which makes up the majority of Israel's 273 kilometers (170 mi) coastline[3] and the Gaza strip. Israel has a small coastline on the Red Sea in the south.
