The Dome of the Rock Shrine and Al-Aqsa Mosque are two holy structures in Islam built on the Haram ash-Sharif or Noble Sanctuary (it is also called the Temple Mount) in the Old City of Jerusalem. The Dome of the Rock is an octagonal structure with a golden copula covered in gold. There is an area for prayer surrounding the Foundation Stone, upon which Muslims believe that Mohammed ascended to heaven. The Al-Aqsa Mosque is directly south of the Dome of the Rock Shrine and is the principle mosque in Jerusalem.
Both sights are overseen by the Islamic Waqf, even though the Old City of Jerusalem is under Israeli control.
