YOGYAKARTA Semarang City, Central Java is not only famous for historical and culinary tourism, but there are also religious tourism that should not be missed when visiting Lumpia City. One of them is the religious tourism of the tomb of Sheikh Jumdil Kubro.

For Muslims, religious tourism can provide benefits for a person's mentality and spirituality. Starting from increasing faith, adding religious insight, to adding cultural insight and history in a place.

Compiled by VOI from various sources, one of the graves believed to be the place where Sheikh Jumdil Kubro resides is located on Jalan Yos Sudarso or also known as Jalan Pantura Semarang-Demak, Terboyo Kulon Village, Semarang. It is not far from the Kaligawe Toll Gate.

Currently, the Tomb of Sheikh Jumadil Kubro is a complex with a mosque area. The tomb is in the lower area of the Jami Sheikh Jumdil Qubro Mosque.

Visitors who wish to make a pilgrimage can go directly to the tomb. No entry rates are set, it's just that pilgrims are required to fill in the guest book. The parking fee in this area can also be said to be the same as the usual parking fee in Semarang City.

Before becoming a religious tourist destination, the Tomb of Sheikh Jumdil Qubro was only a mound of earth that was fenced and given a roof. The location is also in the shooting area. Pilgrims who want to visit must walk on a path made of wood.

Because the number of pilgrims visiting the tomb was getting busier from time to time, the tomb management foundation then set up a mosque to make it more feasible.

The construction began in 2009 and was carried out in stages. The construction of the Sheikh Jumdil Kubro Mosque was only completed in 2014.

After the mosque is completed, the number of pilgrims is increasing. The most crowded times are usually in the month of Rajab and the month of Ruwah.

Apart from Terboyo, Semarang, several other places are also referred to as the tomb of Sheikh Jumdil Kubro. Among them are the top of Turgo hill, Sleman; at the cemetery of Troloyo, Trowulan District, Mojokerto; and in Wajo, South Sulawesi.

The tomb of Sheikh Jumadil Kubro in Semarang is more than 2 meters long. The tombstones and sides of the tomb are made of glossy brown wood.
