RAMALLAH, West Bank — Find it difficult to get into Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem? Try the educational game app called Haris al-Aqsa, or Protector of Al-Aqsa, by Burj Al-Luqluq Social Center Society, a West Bank-based civil society group that aims to introduce the holy site’s history and culture.
The game, available on IOS and Android devices since February, is in Arabic, although the organizers signal that English and Turkish versions are in the pipeline. The app, developed by a team of Palestinian engineers, was financed by Turkey’s Vakti Kiraat, an Istanbul-based association that focuses on Arabic culture and language.
