'''Masjid Al'Itham''' (English: ''Mosque of Bones'') was a mosque in [[Al-Ula]], south of [[Musa ibn Nusayr Fort]]. It served as an important stop along the [[Islam|Muslim]] {{Wiki|Hajj|pilgrimage}} route to {{Wiki|Medina}} and {{Wiki|Mecca}}.<ref name= "DB Masjid Al'Itham">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Database: Masjid Al'Itham]]</ref>

==History==
According to tradition, the Prophet [[Muhammad]] once stopped at the site to pray while {{Wiki|Expedition of Tabuk|on his way}} to {{Wiki|Tabuk, Saudi Arabia|Tabuk}} and, having been unable to locate suitable stones to mark the {{Wiki|Qibla|direction of prayer}}, he used animal bones. The local population later built the mosque on that very location, to honor the event.<ref name= "DB Masjid Al'Itham">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Database: Masjid Al'Itham]]</ref>

During [[Basim ibn Ishaq]]'s time in the region, he climbed the mosque's minaret to [[Viewpoint|better orient]] himself, taking note of other landmarks from above.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]''</ref>
