White Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Old Market, Nazareth, Israel.

The White Mosque features a pencil-shaped minaret reaching into the sky, cream-colored walls, green trim details, and a prominent green dome.

Sheikh Abdullah Al Fahum supervised the construction of this religious building between 1804 and 1808, with funding from Egyptian Ottoman ruler Sulayman Pasha.

The mosque contains two main prayer halls, a separate prayer area for women, and a small museum displaying documents from Nazareth's past.

Visitors need permission from the imam to enter the mosque, and women receive head coverings at the office near the entrance.

The tomb of Sheikh Abdullah Al Fahum remains visible through a glass door connected to the main sanctuary of the mosque.
