Called Haram Es-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) by the Arabs and the Temple Mount by the Jews, this is probably one of the greatest historical-religious sights in the world.

Poised in the approximate center of the platform is the Dome of the Rock, which sits over the the site of two earlier structures: the original Temple of Solomon (initially constructed in 950 BCE; destroyed in 587 BCE) and the greatly expanded Second Temple constructed by King Herod the Great (destroyed 70 CE). The site is now said to enclose the rock from which Mohammed took his famous night journey into heaven.

The Temple Mount (Haram Es-Sharif) is probably one of the greatest historical-religious sights in the world.
