Al Kifl

Al Kifl (Arabic: الكفل; also known as Kifl) is a town in southeastern Iraq on the Euphrates River, between Najaf and Al Hillah.

Kifl is the location of Al-Nukhailah Mosque, containing the tomb of Dhu al-Kifl who is believed to be the biblical prophet Ezekiel.

A project to renovate the tomb and develop it as a tourist attraction has proven controversial.
