Jerusalem's Al Aqsa mosque compound reopens to Muslim worshippers and visitors after a two-and-a-half month coronavirus closure
A muslim woman pray next to the Dome of the Rock Mosque in the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's old city, Sunday, May 31, 2020.
The resumption of prayers at Islam's third-holiest site capped a sombre period for Jerusalem's Muslims, who this year marked the holy fasting month of Ramadan and the Eid al Fitr holiday without their usual daily visits to Al Aqsa and the adjoining Dome of the Rock. The Council of Islamic Waqf cited the slowed local spread of Covid-19 in lifting entry restrictions and reopening the compound's iconic shrines, which shut on March 15.
Worshippers must wear face masks and bring personal prayer rugs should they wish to pray inside the shrines or on the compound's outdoor grounds.
