Tomb of Ahmad bin Isa al-Muhajir

Ahmad bin Isa al-Muhajir was a sufi prophet from Basra who died around 800AD and influenced the religion of the area.
His tomb lies at the foot of a mountain, about 10km from Tarim towards Seiyun. A holy woman is also buried here.
Non-muslims are not allowed in so you have to look at it through the wire fence.
