context_page_description: Nabi Shuʿayb is a Druze religious prophet, traditionally identified with the biblical Jethro, whose possible shrine/tomb is believed to be located near Kfar Zeitim, not far from Tiberias, Israel. The identification of Shuʿayb with Jethro, however, is a Druze tradition rather than historical fact. Prophet Shuʿayb is the 14th prophet.
  Nabi Shuayb was an object of traditional veneration by Druze through Palestine. The shrine figured down to Israeli-Arab war of 1948 as a place where Druze took vows and made ziyarat. After the 1948 war, Israel placed the Maqam under exclusive Druze care. A central figure in the Druze religion, the tomb of Nabi Shuaib, has been a site of annual pilgrimage for the Druze for centuries. Shrines dedicated to Nabi Shuaib are common throughout the Greater Syria region.
context_section_description: Nabi Shuʿayb (also transliterated Neby Shoaib or Nabi Shuaib, meaning "the Prophet Shuʿayb") is a Druze religious prophet, traditionally identified with the biblical Jethro, whose possible shrine/tomb is believed to be located near Kfar Zeitim, not far from Tiberias, Israel. The identification of Shuʿayb with Jethro, however, is a Druze tradition rather than historical fact (see Shuaib). Prophet Shuʿayb is the 14th prophet.
  Nabi Shuayb was an object of traditional veneration by Druze through Palestine. The shrine figured down to Israeli-Arab war of 1948 as a place where Druze took vows (nidhr) and made   ziyarat ("pilgrimages"). After the 1948 war, Israel placed the Maqam (shrine) under exclusive Druze care. A central figure in the Druze religion, the tomb of Nabi Shuaib, has been a site of annual pilgrimage for the Druze for centuries.  Shrines dedicated to Nabi Shuaib are common throughout the Greater Syria region.
