Syria has about 180 km of coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. The coastal mountain range borders the coastal plain and runs from north to south. East of the mountains is the Ghab Depression, a 75km longitudinal trench that contains the valley of the Orontes River. Another mountain range is the Anti-Lebanon mountain range, or Jabal ash-Sharqi, which marks Syria's border with Lebanon. Mt. Hermon (Jabal ash-Shaykh), Syria's highest point, rises to 9,232 feet (2,814 meters), although it is now under occupied territory in the Golan Heights. Smaller mountains are scattered about the country. The Fertile Crescent is a semi circle of fertile land that encompasses the Syrian Desert. This is where agriculture first began. The Syrian Desert comprises about 58% of the Syrian territory. The area is not a sand desert but comprises rock and gravel steppe. The main oasis is that at the foot of the Palmyrene mountains which has very sulfurous water springs.
