The Online Guide to Al-Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem
AT THE HEART OF JERUSALEM is the Noble Sanctuary, Al-Haram al-Sharif, enclosing over 35 acres of fountains, gardens, buildings and domes. At its southernmost end is Al-Aqsa Mosque and at its centre the celebrated Dome of the Rock. The entire area is regarded as a mosque and comprises nearly one sixth of the walled city of Jerusalem.
It is the third most important site in
Islam after Makkah and Madinah, and a showcase for Islamic architecture
and design from Umayyad to Ottoman times that continues as an
important religious and educational centre for Muslims to the
present day.
You are welcome to browse through this Online Guide to the Noble Sanctuary.
