A maqam (symbolic shrine, not a confirmed grave) attributed to al-Khidr, the immortal figure who instructs the Prophet Musa in Surah al-Kahf. Located on the Mediterranean shore in Samandağ, it is one of Turkey's foremost interfaith pilgrimage sites: Muslims (notably Arab Alevis) venerate it as al-Khidr's maqam, while Orthodox Christians venerate the same spot as Mar Circus / St. George.
