Na'aman River

Na'aman

The Na'aman is a short coastal river in northern Israel that flows into the Mediterranean just south of Acre. Its mouth lies beside Tel Akko, the mound of ancient Acre, which used it as a harbour in the Bronze Age. Known in antiquity as the Belus, it was famous for the sand used in making glass, described by Pliny the Elder.
