Swamps/wetlands in the Levant?

Has anyone been to Israel or neighbouring countries in the Levant and seen what the wetlands are like there? I was curious when playing through some of the Stronghold Crusader maps like 'Caesarea Swampland'. Google hasn't turned up much for images for the kind of wetlands portrayed in the game; I read that a lot of it was drained for farming during recent 20th century settlement so maybe the swamps in that area don't exist anymore?

If anyone's been there or has some images of wetlands/swamp from the coastal regions of the Levant it would be interesting to see. I've always been interested in wetland environments, and I also think it would be useful to have some images or descriptions for map-making reference in the game.
