Tomb of Job

Salalah, Oman

The Tomb of the Prophet Ayyub is a shrine located in the village of Hayawt in Dhofar Governorate, southwestern Oman. It is believed by locals to be the burial place of the biblical prophet Job, who is revered by Muslims under the name Ayyub. Islamic traditions however maintain that the graves of all prophets are unknown with the exception of those of Muhammad and Abraham. A mosque used to stand next to the shrine, although it was eventually demolished for unknown reasons. The present day shrine is still regularly visited by both locals and people from far abroad.
