One of the famous pilgrimage sites in Tiberias is the tomb of Maimonides.
The first image is the entrance to the complex. There are gift shops on the left.
The second image is that of grave of the father of Maimonides (I can't find anything much about the life of Maimon but it is possible he was buried in Egypt and then reinterred in Tiberias).
The third is that of the grave of Maimonides. Maimonides died in Egypt in 1204 but there is no evidence of him being buried in Egypt. Beginning in about 1250, there were traditions that Maimonides was buried in Tiberias, at the this site.
