A view of the Dome of the Rock and Temple Mount in Jerusalem taken from the Mount of Olives.

The Dome of the Rock, a plot of land on an elevated stone platform is located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This area is sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Jews believe the Exodus Israelites first sanctified the site. Earlier, Abraham brought his son Isaac to Mount Moriah to sacrifice him upon a rock that extended from the center of the platform.

Genesis 22:2
Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about." (NIV)
