The massive mountain range of the Meron nature reserve defines the Western Galilee's eastern perimeter. The rivers of the Western Galilee - the Ga'aton and Achziv - flow from the peak of Mt. Meron (also Merom) towards the Mediterranean coastline.

The Western Galilee is a kaleidoscope of geographical and historical features. Nestled in the mountains of this region one will find scenic villages such as Peki'in, with its 3rd century synagogue, amidst tiny villages of Druze and Maronite Christians.

Remains of nearly two centuries of Crusader rule contrast on the horizon with at the high-tech development area of Tefen and the resort town of Nahariya. The ancient port of Acco, a city whose impressive walls proved to be the demise of Napoleon's armies, defines the Western Galilee southwestern corner. A panoramic view from the spires of Acco’s mosques reveal Mt. Carmel and Haifa to the south, with Mt. Tabor and the ridge of upper Nazareth towards the east.
