This mosque is the third most important shrine in Islam after Mecca and Medina. Al-Aqsa was the first qibla - a landmark to which Muslims around the world turned their faces during prayer. Later, this status passed to the Sacred Mosque in Mecca. The place is beautiful, it looked especially impressive in the pale colors of the dawning day, we started our tour of Jerusalem from there, maybe that's why it was so memorable.→
