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 Muslim pilgrimage route to Medina and Mecca.

History

According to tradition, the Prophet Muhammad once stopped at the site to pray while on his way to Tabuk and, having been unable to locate suitable stones to mark the direction of prayer, he used animal bones. The local population later built the mosque on that very location, to honor the event.

During Basim ibn Ishaq's time in the region, he climbed the mosque's minaret to better orient himself, taking note of other landmarks from above.
