One of the most visually stunning Islamic monuments in the world, the gold-domed shrine sits atop the Temple Mount, sacred to both Muslims and Jews. Non-Muslims may enter the compound through the Mughrabi Gate during limited morning and afternoon hours but cannot enter the Dome itself. Arrive early as access is restricted and can close without notice; check current security conditions before visiting.
