The Levant
The Ibrahimi Mosque
Hebron, Palestine
The holiest site in Islam after the Two Sanctuaries — it holds the tombs of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob and their wives, expressing the continuity of the prophets in the land of Palestine.
Story & history
Temples and then churches rose above the sacred cave; Muslims added a mosque and shrine for the prophets, and it became the heart of Hebron and a place of prayer for Muslims and Jews under a special arrangement to this day.
