Looking at all the sites that we had the pleasure of documenting and scanning in 3D; only one site has eluded us for many years. We can see it near but it has always been so far.
The Dome of the Rock is one of the most iconic Islamic landmarks in the world, located in Jerusalem on the Al-Aqsa compound (Al-Haram al-Sharif). Built in the late 7th century by the Umayyad Caliph ʿAbd al-Malik, it is the oldest surviving Islamic monument. The structure is an octagonal shrine crowned with a golden dome, built over a sacred rock that holds deep religious significance in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism most notably associated with the Prophet Muhammad’s Night Journey and ascension to heaven.
