Mausoleum of Abu Huraira, Islamic mausoleum in Yavne, Israel

The mausoleum features a central dome supported by an octagonal drum, with two main rooms including a burial chamber and a front area.

Sultan Baybars ordered the construction of the riwaq with six small domes in 1274, followed by additional expansions under Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil in 1292.

The structure contains Arabic inscriptions and architectural elements that reflect both Islamic traditions and Roman influences in its design and construction methods.

The mausoleum includes modern facilities such as restrooms and water fountains, making it accessible for visitors throughout the day.

The site transformed from an Islamic shrine to a Jewish synagogue after 1948, now recognized as both Abu Huraira's tomb and Rabban Gamaliel's burial place.
