''The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia'' is a monumental and influential collection of lithographs that were produced from the original sketches and paintings of the Scottish artist David Roberts (1796–1864). Published in six volumes between 1842 and 1849, the work is notable for its detailed and picturesque representations of the landscapes, architecture, and daily life in the Near East and North Africa, regions that were largely unfamiliar to the Western audience at the time.

Roberts embarked on a three-year journey through these regions from 1838 to 1840, during which he meticulously documented the sights he encountered. His artistic endeavor was not only driven by personal ambition but also by the burgeoning interest in Orientalism in Europe, a fascination with the cultures and aesthetics of the East that was prevalent among artists, writers, and scholars of the 19th century.

Upon his return, Roberts collaborated with the skilled lithographer Louis Haghe to translate his watercolors and drawings into prints. The resulting lithographs were published by Francis Graham Moon and were met with critical acclaim, securing Roberts' reputation as one of the foremost Orientalist painters of his time. The volumes were issued to subscribers in parts, with each part containing several lithographs accompanied by descriptive text, providing a narrative of Roberts' travels and observations.

''The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia'' was notable for its accuracy and attention to detail, which was attributed to Roberts' insistence on sketching from life. This dedication to realism, combined with the romantic sensibility of the era, created images that resonated with Victorian audiences and influenced Western perceptions of the Middle East and North Africa for generations.

The work is considered a significant contribution to the visual arts and to the field of travel literature. It remains an important historical record of the region during the early 19th century, prior to the widespread changes brought about by modernization and Western influence. Today, Roberts' original lithographs are highly prized by collectors, and the volumes are regarded as a landmark in the history of travel and exploration, as well as a testament to the enduring allure of the landscapes and cultures of the Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia.
