Cape ad-Dariah

Cape Ad-Dariah lies in the waters off the Cilician coast, near the western approach to the Gulf of Alexandretta. The gulf forms the easternmost inlet of the Mediterranean, with the Nur Mountains rising along its eastern side. To the west, rivers descending from the Taurus carry their waters across the fertile Cilician plain. The coast belongs to a region long divided between the mountainous country of Rough Cilicia and the broad lowlands of the east.
