<p>While not <em>technically</em> in Jordan, Jerusalem&rsquo;s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome_of_the_Rock">Dome of the Rock</a> is basically just a stone&rsquo;s throw away from Amman (pun intended). Not only is this shrine capped with a golden dome, covered in vibrant Ottoman-era tilework, and adorned with elegant Arabic calligraphy, it also boasts an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_Stone">impressive resume of sacred claims to fame</a>.</p>

<h4>The Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount</h4>

<p>The shrine, built nearly 1,300 years ago, stands atop a hotly contested complex called the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Mount">Temple Mount</a> (&ldquo;Noble Sanctuary&rdquo; in Arabic) that dates back to the Canaanites four thousand years agolike I said, an impressive resume!</p>
2020-01-25 20:26:19 +01:00
<p>As a secular person it&rsquo;s all a bit too heavy for my taste, but there&rsquo;s no doubt that the complex is stunningly beautiful. Visitation of the Temple Mount is open to the non-Muslim public from 7:30 to 11:00 AM from the access bridge at the Western Wall in the Jewish Quarter of the old city.</p>
