Welcome to one of the holiest - and one of the most contested - places in the world. The Dome of the Rock is located in the ancient and holy city of Jerusalem. The gold-topped holy place shining out of Jerusalem's skyline is a total cultural and historical landmark. It truly is a sight to behold. Unfortunately, most people in the world won't be able to see it due to the high tensions in the area.
However, you could get a close look at it without actually entering, which is what tourists do. That, too, is worth a visit.
