Palestine is located in the west of the Asian continent, between longitudes 15-34° and 40-35° East, and between latitudes 30-29° and 15-33° North. It constitutes the southwestern part of a major geographical unit in the Arab Mashreq, the Levant, which includes – in addition to Palestine – Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, and then its borders were shared with those countries, as well as its borders with Egypt.

Palestine, by virtue of its middle position between Arab countries, constitutes a mixture of the elements of natural and human geography for a vast area of ​​land that includes between its wings the authentic Bedouin character in the south, and the ancient style of stability in the north. The Palestinian land is characterized as being a part of the original homeland of the first human being, a landing site for the heavenly religions, a place for the emergence of ancient civilizations, a passage for trade movements, and military conquests through different historical ages. It is an area from which it is easy to spread to the surrounding areas, so it has become a crossing bridge for human groups since antiquity. This site was the focus of the greedy eyes to control it and take advantage of its advantages.
