The Krayot (Hebrew: הקריות) are a cluster of five small cities founded in the 1930s in the Haifa Bay area, on the outskirts of the city of Haifa, Israel. The Krayot (plural of Kirya) are Kiryat Yam (pop. 36,700),[1] [[Kןiryat Yam] (pop. 36,900) [Kiryat Motzkin]] (pop. 39,800), Kiryat Bialik (pop. 48,700), Kiryat Ata (pop. 33,800) and Kiryat Haim (pop. 26,960)
In 2003, there was a proposal to merge the Krayot to form a city called Zevulun with a population of 250,000, which would make it one of the ten largest cities in Israel.[citation needed]. But in 2008, the plan was cancelled.[who?]
Krayot mentioned in the Bible, Amos : "וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי-אֵשׁ בְּמוֹאָב, וְאָכְלָה אַרְמְנוֹת הַקְּרִיּוֹת ", "And I sent - Fire in Moab, and ate palaces krayot"
