Haram al-Sharif

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.14 sec.

Haram al-Sharif

Holy site in Jerusalem where the Muslim shrine, the Dome of the Rock, and the al-Aqsa mosque are situated. The compound is located on top on Mount Moriah, dominating the Old City of Jerusalem. It is also the former site of the Jewish Temple of Jerusalem, and the Wailing Wall remains part of the wall enclosing the compound.

A visit to Haram al-Sharif by controversial right-wing Likud politician Ariel Sharon sparked off riots and violence in September 2000 that had led to the deaths of over 300 people by December.
