Today, above the Prophet’s Chamber in the Prophet’s Mosque is a distinctive green dome which is a sign of the Prophet’s Chamber. It was painted green in 1253 AH.

Visitors of the Prophet’s Mosque coming from the south (Al-Hijrah Road) or from the east (King Abdulaziz Road) can see the minarets and the green dome from a distance, as there are no buildings to block the view.

This dome was not built until the reign of Sultan Qalawun. The doom had the color of the wood used in construction. Later, it was painted white, then blue, and finally green.

This dome was known as the white dome, Al-Faiha, and the blue dome. Ultimately, it was called the Green Dome.

As part of the constant care given to the Noble Chamber, the coating of this dome is renewed whenever its color changes due to weather conditions.
