Gaza sits inside Gaza Strip, Palestinian Territory and ranks #1 of 25 cities in Gaza Strip by population. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Gaza and the countries closest to Gaza by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Palestinian Territory. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across Asia.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Gaza, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Gaza at a glance.
If you're stringing together stops in Gaza Strip, the neighboring cities table above doubles as a rough day-trip planner from Gaza — shortest hops first. Pair it with the population and area data to gauge which nearby stop is worth the detour.
See the Cities Near To Gaza table above, ranked nearest first with distance in miles, kilometers and nautical miles plus a compass bearing for each. Want the bigger picture? The nearest states and nearest countries tables sit further down this page, or compare every city in Gaza Strip by population and density.
Every figure on this page is a Great Circle (haversine) distance — a straight aerial line between the GPS center of Gaza and the GPS center of the other place, not a driving distance. It's the same math airlines use to estimate flight paths. View the Gaza map for the exact coordinates behind these numbers.
It's a straight line — the shortest possible path between two points on Earth's surface, ignoring roads, terrain and detours. Actual driving distance from Gaza will almost always run longer, sometimes significantly, depending on the road network. Treat the figures here as a quick planning benchmark, not a substitute for a live route from a mapping or navigation app.
Distribution planners use it to pick warehouse or hub sites within easy reach of Gaza. Sales and field teams use it to sequence visits by drive distance instead of guessing. Market researchers use it to scope out the next-closest town before greenlighting an expansion. See the population & area comparison and Gaza Strip city rankings above to size up each candidate.
Gaza ranks #1 of 25 cities in Gaza Strip by recorded population. See the population & area comparison table above to weigh it directly against each neighboring city on this page.
