Dome of The Rock, Jerusalem | Israel Top Attractions

Dome of The Rock, Jerusalem

Dome of The Rock, Jerusalem

Located inside a compound referred to as al-Haram al-Sharif, or the Noble Sanctuary, by Muslims, and as the Temple Mount by Jews in Jerusalem's Old City (A UNESCO World Heritage site), the Dome of the Rock is an Islamic shrine that shines in the city's skyline.

This is one of the holiest sites for Muslims and is believed to be where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made his night journey to heaven.

What makes it a must-visit when in Jerusalem are its many structures that span from different time periods. This is primarily due to many modifications over the years, including the 16th-century revisions ordered by the Ottoman sultan Suleyman I. It is also one of the oldest existing unique examples of Islamic architecture.

Beyond its religious significance, the dome of the rock also served as an inspiration of many magnificent buildings around the world. Its architecture has been the basis of the design for the octagonal Church of St. Giacomo in Italy, the octagonal Rumbach Street Synagogue in Budapest, and the Mausoleum of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in Istanbul, to name a few.

You have to see its magnificence with your own eyes and experience its spirituality by standing in its midst.

Explore the Dome of the Rock and learn its history and other interesting facts with a guided tour. Contact La Vacanza and learn more about this activity.
