Israel is a country in the Middle East off the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea that Jews, Christians and Muslims consider the biblical Holy Land. The main shrines of the country are located in the Old City of Jerusalem: the Temple Mount, on which the sanctuary of the Dome of the Rock, the ancient Wailing Wall and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher were erected. Tel Aviv, the financial center of Israel, is known for its beaches, as well as buildings designed by architects from the German Bauhaus school.
