Seyyede Khoulah bint Hossein shrine, Islamic shrine in Baalbek, Lebanon

The shrine contains a central tomb with a golden structure measuring four meters in length and three meters in width, featuring vintage oak doors.

Following the events of Karbala, Khawla, daughter of Imam Hussein, passed away during the journey through Baalbek, leading to the establishment of this shrine.

The shrine walls display Iranian art incorporating Quranic verses and hadiths in combinations of blue, white, and navy colors.

The shrine is located at the southern entrance of Baalbek, making it accessible to visitors traveling through the ancient Roman city.

A 1,400-year-old Cypress tree, planted by Imam Zainal Abidin, grows through the building's roof and remains alive to this day.
