It is located in the northeastern side. It is considered the largest neighborhood in the Old City of Jerusalem, and within it is the Holy Sanctuary
The Islamic Quarter is the largest and most crowded neighborhood in Old Jerusalem, inhabited by approximately 22,000 people. It extends from the Lions Gate in the east, along the northern wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque in the south. The Islamic Quarter consists of several lanes, namely: Haret Al-Saadia, Bab Hatta, and Al-Wad, and the Via Dolorosa extends from it, and it is one of the four neighborhoods of the Old City.

And about the most famous historical monuments in the Islamic Quarter, Al-Maqdisi Amer Salah Al-Din speaks, as he mentions that the Mamluks surrounded the campus with schools, to show their interest in the Islamic religion because they were not Arabs, as they used to receive pilgrims and passers-by there, and they cared to build cemeteries as well.

It is famous for the many fountains that date back to the Ottoman rule, and there are seven fountains, the most famous of which is the one built by Suleiman the Magnificent. He points out that the Israeli occupation has turned the fences into military points for the army, and surrounded the Old City with military towers. The neighborhood is crowned with the shrines of saints and ancient monuments, most notably the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock, and the Al-Qibli Mosque, but the neighborhood is not spared from the Judaization processes represented in demolitions and confiscation.
