Marj Sanur

Palestine

Marj Sanur (translation: "Sanur Valley"; also called Marj al-Ghuruq, translation: "Drowning Valley" is a closed basin within the northern mountains of the West Bank, located entirely in the southern Jenin Governorate, in between the cities of Jenin (to the north) and Nablus (to the south). Adam Zertal theorized that Majr Sanur was the territory of the Milcah clan of the Israelite tribe of Manasseh during the Iron Age. Today Seven villages border the valley: Sanur, Meithalun, Siris, al-Judeida, Sir, Misilyah and Zawiya. Meithalun is the largest village around the valley and it has the largest share of Marj Sanur's land.
