The Holy Land on a double-sided and very informative wall map from the National Geographic Society combining a current map of the region highlighting the sights with on the reverse historical information, more maps, etc.

The map measures 52 x 80cm (21” x 32” approx) and presents on one side the region at 1:405,500, with coverage extending from well north of Beirut to beyond the southern edge of the Dead Sea, plus inland to Damascus. The map is extensively annotated with symbols reflecting different historical periods and/or the three religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Numerous notes about the sights include, where appropriate, references to the Bible. On the reverse the region around Jerusalem, with Hebron and Jericho, is shown in greater detail. PLEASE NOTE: presentation of political boundaries and the road network may not reflect the current situation - the map is recommended for its historical references only.

On the reverse side there are several additional maps and information panels:

Two maps showing the journeys of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Paul and Muhammad

Seven small maps with notes, showing boundaries of various empires in the region from ancient Egypt to the European colonization

A street plan of Jerusalem highlighting the holy sites

A lovely panorama drawing of Jerusalem’s Old Town
