Shomron includes Mount Carmel, with the majority of the region’s vineyards, the Sharon Plain and the Shomron Hills.
Samson covers the central coastal plain south east of Tel Aviv, the Judean Lowlands, and Judean Foothills.
The Judean Hills, which rise from the foothills west of Jerusalem, run from north of Jerusalem down to the beginning of the desert area.
