Habakkuk Tomb, Prophet burial site in Upper Galilee, Israel.

Habakkuk Tomb is a burial site in Upper Galilee featuring a stone structure topped by a turquoise dome that shelters a central burial chamber. The chamber is draped in blue velvet cloth and includes wooden seating where visitors can spend time in quiet reflection.

The site is associated with the Prophet Habakkuk, who lived roughly 2,700 years ago in ancient Israel, while the tomb structure was built more than 900 years ago. Centuries of pilgrimage to this location reflect the enduring spiritual importance it held for those who visited.

Visitors of different faiths leave prayer notes inserted into the walls and surrounding trees near the tomb, following a practice seen at other sacred sites. This custom shows how the place draws people from various backgrounds who come to share their personal intentions.

The site is easily accessible on foot and offers seating inside for quiet contemplation. Visitors should know the space is small and intimate, so maintaining silence and respecting others who are there is important.

Archaeological excavations nearby have uncovered burial remains from the Second Temple period. These findings suggest the area served as a burial ground for many centuries.
