Sahl Arraba is a fertile tectonic valley in northern Samaria (Jabal Nablus). It is mentioned in the Bible as the sight where Joseph was sold by his brothers.[1] The region is about eleven kilometers long and four kilometers wide. There are several Palestinian towns located near in and around the valley, including Arrabah, Bir al-Basha, Burqin, Yabad, Qabatiya and Kufeirat.[2]
