طريق البحر
This road is the shortest and simplest way to connect these two major regions. Historically, people traveled on or near this route for thousands of years from the coastal plain to reach the Galilee, and beyond it the Golan, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan ("see" Via Maris). In the 1949 Armistice Agreements Israel received the portion of this road in Wadi Ara for this reason.
