Nabi Musa Jericho

About 10km north of the Dead Sea, Nabi Musa is where Muslims believe Moses (Musa in Arabic, Moshe in Hebrew) was buried. A mosque was built on the site in 1269, under Mamluk Sultan Baybar (it was expanded two centuries later), and annual week-long pilgrimages set out from Jerusalem to Nabi Musa – which continue today. The mosque is under restoration, but it is still open to visitors.
