Summary

Nabi Musa, or Nebi Mussa Cemisi. — A site in the Judean desert popularly associated by the Palestinians with Moses' Tomb.

Nabi Musa, or the Tomb of Prophet Moses, lies 11 km south of Jericho and 20 km east of Jerusalem in the Judean wilderness. A side road to the right of the main Jerusalem-Jericho road, about 2 km beyond the sign indicating sea level, leads to the site venerated by Muslims as Maqam El-Nabi Musa. According to local tradition, the Maqam (tomb) of Nabi Musa is considered to be a holy site for Muslims because it houses the grave of Prophet Moses, one of the great prophets of Islam.

A seven-day long religious festival is celebrated annually by Palestinian Muslims, beginning on the Friday before Good Friday in the Greek Orthodox calendar, considered "the most important Muslim pilgrimage in Palestine."
