Nabi Ayub as Tomb, Dhofar Governorate, Oman
The tomb of Nabi Ayoub is around 40 kilometres from Salalah on Jebal Ittin. There is a mosque and tomb where the remains of the Prophet, quite possibly Job from the Old Testament, are located.
There is a small garden to walk through to get to the tomb which is housed in a small building. Immediately next to the tomb are the walls of a small room used for prayer. The appearance is much like a mosque however the date of the life of the Prophet is pre-Islam. One section of the wall faces Jerusalem which is the direction the Prophet would face for prayer. Though his life is also pre-Judaism, even at that time he believed in the Oneness of God.
