    Great outside views

    As a non-muslim, one cannot enter the Dome, but the outside views are great. Also walking around the grounds and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and breath-taking views of the Mount of Olives. Limited hours to enter the grounds. Check in advance and plan accordingly

    Selfie sticks are forbidden so I would guess a tripod is also forbidden. It can be used as a weapon.
