The Holy Land (Latin: Terra Sancta), is a generic term that usually refers to one or more countries in the Middle East region of the world that witnessed the origins and early history of three of the world's great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

And for the Jew, it is toward Jerusalem that the pious turn three times each day in prayer.

As such, The Holy Land has been one of the most important destinations to travel, for both tourism and pilgrimage for centuries, and continues to attract visitors on the same basis even today in order to their economic, religious and cultural importance.
