Cave of the Patriarchs / Al Ibrahimi Mosque

The first man to ever live (not the first to die though) is buried here, aka Adam harishon and his wife chava (Eve) the first lady (no not Melania). Also buried here is Avraham Avinu who actually bought this cave from Efron in order to bury his wife Sarah (whom is still here). Yitzchok Avinu and his wife Rivkah is here as well however the section that has their tziyon (which doesn't mean they're buried there specifically) is used as a mosque and usually closed off (they open it a couple times a year). And of course Yakov/Yisroel Avinu and his wife Leah are here as well. Oh and don't forget about esavs (esau) head which wound up here as well (thanks to chushim Ben Dan). Not sure why there's no tziyon for Adam and Eve but they're still there don't worry.

This was the most beautiful place and I was blessed to be invited to be a guest to visit. Most of the reviews, will be of the separated Jewish side, since the Mosque / Tempe is divided, 2/3 Mosque, 1/2 Jewish Temple. As an American tourist and Christian, I was invited by my Palestiian Muslim tour guide we rented, to visit the Mosque side, which is inside, fully enclosed, and has the most important tombs in it, as well as being a most beautiful historic landmark of global significance. It was absolutely stunning, built by Herod The Great, and is the oldest building on the planet still in it's original use. It is perfectly safe to go there, the people are most kind. The glass, is from a famous glass maker, you can watch. There is market shopping in the alley ways around the building. The entire site is guarded by the Israeli Army { IDF }, who don't get along with the Muslim Palestinians who manage the inside of the site, but as an American tourist, if you are Christian, you will have no issues with either side. Not many tourists go there, so you won't see others. There is no cost. You will count your blessings you had a chance to experience this in your life.

Nice place to visit. I came here with a Malaysian group recently as my original tour group leader said it was closed for the Jewish Sukkot holidays. Alhamdullillah it was opened. Thank you Ustaz Dr Ahmad for accommodating me.

The city is like a ghost-city, mostly with soldiers around, a place of the tombs of the Patriarchs is nice, but you need to pass through security control and inside pay attention for places and ways for men and women.

Amazing experience. You can take bus #381 or bus #383 from central Jerusalem bus station to here for 8.10NIS each way.

Highly important and significant location for the three faiths, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The building stands above a cave which houses the tombs of Abraham, Sara, Issac, and Rebecca. Humbled and honoured to have had a chance to visit and offer prayers.

B"H Machpelah the must mystical place you can find in the earth where if you bless or lucky you will find your self next to angels this is the gates of the Garden of Eden and if you feel like crying and praying for your life this is the place to be Where the patriarch of the Bible come a life
