Shalom al Yisrael Synagogue Mosaic Floor

Byzantine-era synagogue mosaic in Jericho, preserving one of the region's notable Jewish heritage sites.

The Shalom al Yisrael mosaic preserves the floor of an ancient synagogue in Jericho, with geometric decoration and a Hebrew inscription at its centre. It is a small site, but an important one for understanding the city's Jewish, Byzantine, and early medieval layers.

Because Jericho is often visited for Tell es-Sultan, monasteries, and desert landscapes, this mosaic adds a different kind of stop: quiet, compact, and textural. Check local access before going, as heritage sites in the area can have changing arrangements.
