About

Ezekiel's Tomb is a mausoleum, located next to the site of the Nukhailah Mosque, in al-Kifl, in the district of al-Hillah, in the province of Babylon, Iraq. The tomb is revered by Jews as the resting place of Ezekiel, an Israelite prophet who was deported from the Kingdom of Judah during the Babylonian captivity and serves as the eponymous protagonist of the Book of Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible. Historically, it is the oldest and most important Jewish site in Mesopotamia.
