This structure is believed to be built over the tomb of Prophet Moses, although the biblical text suggests that Musa was buries on an unidentified the opposite side of River Jordan. The generally accepted story according to Muslim tradition claims that Saladin had a dream which revealed to him where Moses was venerated, subsequently; he built a Mosque in that location so that Muslims can be blessed by who they consider to be a Muslim Prophet. What initially was a simple shrine/mosque expanded over the succeeding Muslim dynasties; in 1410, a hospice and a minaret were added, and in the Turks reign, they restored the building and encouraged a seven-day pilgrimage there, were they days are spent praying, feasting and playing games.Source: www.AtlasTours.net
