Facts and practical information

Nabi Shuʿayb is an Islamic and 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 while Islamic beliefs regard Shu'ayb as the 13th prophet. ()
