Tomb of Aaron, Religious mausoleum in Petra, Jordan.
The white-domed stone structure stands at 1,350 meters elevation on Jabal Harun mountain, offering views of the surrounding desert landscape.
The current building dates from the 14th century Mamluk period, with inscriptions above the entrance indicating renovations completed in 1320.
The site holds religious importance for Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities as the believed burial location of Aaron, brother of Moses.
Visitors must obtain permission from Jordanian authorities to access the tomb, and religious ceremonies require specific authorization from local officials.
Archaeological excavations revealed remains of a Byzantine monastery complex beneath the peak, including a church dedicated to Saint Aaron.
