The Temple Mount, a highly significant religious site in Jerusalem, offers free access for non-Muslims to its outdoor plaza during strictly limited hours, typically mornings and sometimes brief afternoon slots, but entry into the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque is generally restricted to Muslims. Visitors should anticipate stringent security checks and adhere to a strict dress code (modest attire, headscarf for women), and be aware that the site is often closed to non-Muslims on Fridays, Saturdays, and during Muslim holidays. While solo visits are possible, a guided tour is strongly recommended to navigate the complex entry rules, understand its profound historical and religious context, and ensure respectful conduct. Allow 1-2 hours for your visit, and check current operating hours closely before arriving, as these can change without notice. The site's main plaza is largely accessible, but internal buildings are not, and respectful behavior is paramount.
