The holiest places in the world

There's a reason it's named the Holy Land. Palestine is home to some of the world's most important sites for the three Abrahamic religions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity). The Cave of the Patriarchs, located in Hebron's ancient city, is supposed to be the burial location of the prophet Abraham and is a holy place for Jews and Muslims alike. The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is considered to be Jesus' birthplace, making it an important location for Christians. Jericho is known as the setting for the Battle of Jericho in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, and it is home to a number of significant archeological sites in the region.

And, of course, no religious travel across Palestine would be complete without a visit to Jerusalem, the world's holiest city. The Old City of occupied East Jerusalem is home to numerous holy sites for Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. For example, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Western Wall, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Via Dolorosa, the Temple Mount, and many more—and this is just scratching the surface. Palestine is the place to visit if you are religious or simply want to learn about the region's many religious and historical sites.
