What is "qubba"

__NOTOC__ A qubba or qubbat—also written ḳubba, kubbet, koubba, &c.—is an Arabic tomb, particularly the domed shrines of Islamic saints.

It originally meant a tent of hides but may also be used generally for tomb sites if they are places of pilgrimage.

It can also be used for the dome of the tomb or as a word for any " dome", such as the Dome of the Rock .
