As well as a pilgrimage to the Holy Land tour operators who specialise in these kind of trips may also offer tours to Egypt, Jordan, Malta, Italy, Cyprus, Turkey, Portugal and Greece as they all have their own significant religious monuments and connections. A Holy Land pilgrimage will often be organised by churches for members of their congregation who all want to take part in a pilgrimage to the Holy land together.
