The Great Mosque of Damascus was built 1,300 years ago, when the city served as the capital of the Umayyad dynasty.

Near the Church of St. Mary of Zion, in Aksum, the unassuming Chapel of the Tablet (at left) is said to enshrine the Ark of the Covenant, the chest holding the stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments.

The entrance to Kalon Mosque overlooks a plaza in Bukhara, one of Central Asia's holiest cities, also popular with visitors for its covered bazaars.
