Ramat HaSharon (Hebrew: רָמַת הַשָּׁרוֹן‎, lit. Heights of the Sharon) is a city located on Israel's central coastal strip in the south of the Sharon region, bordering Tel Aviv to the south and Herzliya and Kibbutz Glil Yam to the north. It is part of the Tel Aviv District, within Gush Dan metropolitan area. The city has a population of 53,004, and interestingly, less than 50% of its municipal area is built up, as it is bordered by two large installations limiting the growth of the city; Israel’s largest fuel and gas center, and the main plant depot of the Israeli military.
