A land of palms

The red light flamed on the white sails of a vessel gliding down the channel, bound to a southern port in a land of palms.

I googled and found that "the land of palms" is a biblical allusion which means Phoenicia,but I can't associate it with the above sentence. Is "a land of palms" an expression commonly used to represent something?
