This was a special experience, this is a beautiful mosque inside. Peaceful and incredible energy inside, super friendly and helpful Palestinians. The outside getting into e- Khalil (Hebron) is a bit difficult with barriers to get through. Definitely worth a visit to pray.
Don't worry about the Israeli security, you slowly become custom to it unfortunately.
Just be happy that you are in one of the holiest countries for all abrahamic religions.
Full of history where we all can learn from each other.
Palestine is for everyone- ISLAM, CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM.
God willing there will be peace once everyone learns love.

Also Called Alharam AlIbrahimi It is considered the fourth holiest site in Islam and the second holiest site in Palestine. Historical evidence suggests that the Prophet Ibrahim/Abraham resided in Hebron approximately four thousand years ago. He chose Hebron as a burial place for his wife Sarah, and later for himself, his son Isaac, his grandson Jacob and their wives. According to some sources, it also houses the tomb of Joseph. In order to enter the mosque, you need to enter via the old souk via the Israeli Security point (even thought this area seems to be an Arab area as there are several shops and restaurants owned by Palestinians). Prayed in it when visiting Hebron for the fist time, inside it looks very nice.

This is the site of the father of the three major world religions. Yes there are minor security checks to get over into Palestine, but this is well worth the visit of one of the most important Prophets in the Islamic faith. Bear in mind, this is the Prophet upon whom praise is heaped in every prayer 5 times a day.
Let that sink in. 1.8 billion muslims globally. This is huge. There is only one resting place of a prophet that is greater in magnitude.
So at the entrance of the Mosque starts with a site where the Prophet Yusuf AS stayed, but unfortunately this was closed. Then up the hill, in the entrance is the wife of Ibrahim AS - Sarah. Then inside the mosque there are two further structures above Ishaq AS and his wife Rifqah. Before going into the final room is a niche at the back where are tiny holes through which you can see into the cave where the prophets are buried but it is difficult to see.
Then the final room is the magnificent site above the tomb of Ibrahim AS. On the right there is a spot where there is his footprint too. You can contemplate beside it as there is plenty of room here and a prayer area. There is an immense amount of peace here, very difficult to describe.
Finally there is the original Minbar from the time of Salahuddin Ayyubi at the front of the mosque. The second one that he commissioned stood in Qibli mosque (Masjid Al Aqsa) but this was set alight in the 60's by an extremist. This is a very grand Minbar and in itself is a fantastic monument, but is easy to miss with the greatness that is around it.
There is a sadness attached to the place as it has been divided up by conflict. However this does not detract from what is still visitable.

I visited it from Palestinian side and Muslim side of the mosque. I had to go through the old market where only few shops out of 600-700 shops are still operational, because they were closed by Israely side. You have to go through a check point, but it was fairly easy. Worth the visit and eye opening experience.

See above for my review of the Cave of the Patriarchs. All the stories about Abraham showed that he got along with the people he lived among. And this place has now become a symbol of contention and malice.

This is a place must visit at least once in your life. While you are visiting, please open your eyes and see the apartheid the Palestinians are living under.

I enjoyed visiting the Masjid as I always did when I was a young child !! The Masjid is divided now between the Muslim and Jews and there’s no way you can visit as whole beside all the check points by the Israeli soldiers you have to go through before even you reach the Masjid with all this said it’s worth the visit !!!

We visited this mosque as it is the resting place of our prophets. Shame that we had to go through numerous very heavy security gates & searched passports checked etc before being allowed to enter. Only part of the mosque is now for the muslim worshippers as the rest has been occupied. We prayed our salat here & made supplications. We got to see the tomb of the prophet Ibrahim a.s & his wife sara a.s. aswel as others. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to see Yusuf a.s tomb as this was on the occupied side of the mosque . You can see the whole mosque on eid day as they allow muslims full access, so if you are visiting during this time do try & go. I say deffinetly worth visiting.
