Nebi Musa, is a Moslim holy place in the Judean desert between Jericho and Jerusalem. The building which marks the Mausoleum of Moses is located where once the pilgrims could look Mount Nebo, where the tomb of Moses was thought to be located. Mamluk sultan Baibars built a small shrine (1269 A.D.) here, gradually the lookout point was confused with Moses' tomb itself, increasing for the Islam the religious importance Nabi Musa.
