Tomb of Ukasha, Islamic tomb site in Nurdağı, Turkey.
The Tomb of Ukasha features traditional Turkish architecture with stone structures, detailed craftsmanship, and multiple visiting areas surrounding the central mausoleum point.
The mausoleum, first constructed between 1600 and 1700, underwent a complete restoration that required 92 million Turkish liras and preserved its original stone design.
The tomb holds religious importance as the final resting place of Ukasha, a companion of Prophet Muhammad who participated in major Islamic battles.
The site includes a 400-person mosque, fountain facilities, seventeen shops, covered parking, elevators for accessibility, and separate washing areas for men and women.
The name Ökkeş, derived from Ukasha, remains a common given name throughout the provinces of Gaziantep, Osmaniye, Kahramanmaraş, and Kilis in Turkey.
