Jerusalem is home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam, located within the larger Haram al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary) complex. This mosque is significant not only for its religious importance but also as a symbol of Palestinian identity and heritage. The site is also revered by Jews as the location of the ancient Temple, making it a focal point of religious and political tensions in the region. The area draws millions of visitors and pilgrims each year, reflecting its deep historical and spiritual significance.
