Nabi Shu'ayb, Religious shrine in Upper Galilee, Israel.

The structure contains a central tomb chamber surrounded by white stone walls with a dome, situated among hills near Tiberias.

The shrine received its current architectural form in 1880 after Druze religious leaders coordinated efforts to construct the building.

Nabi Shu'ayb represents the primary sacred site for the Druze faith, housing the tomb of Prophet Shuayb, known as Jethro in biblical texts.

The annual festival at Nabi Shu'ayb occurs between April 25 and April 28, drawing thousands of Druze followers for religious ceremonies.

The tomb features an indentation believed to be Prophet Shuayb's footprint, where pilgrims pour oil during their visits.
