Tomb of Joshua, Holy mausoleum in Kifl Hares, Palestine

The tomb structure features a white dome and stands amid an urban setting within the Palestinian village of Kifl Hares.

During the 14th century BC, Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan after Moses' death and was buried in this location at age 110.

The tomb draws Jewish pilgrims on the 26th of Nisan and holds significance for Muslims who know it as the Maqam of Yusha ibn Nun.

Access to the tomb requires coordination with local authorities due to security measures and restricted entry times in the West Bank area.

Sultan Saladin constructed the current Islamic shrine structure, which contains an inscribed plaque referencing a servant connected to the site.
