Description

This beautiful site stands tall at the start of the road leading to the holiest city for Muslims, Makkah. Baab Makkah has witnessed hundreds of millions of pilgrims make their journey to the home town of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). 

It is a three-arched gateway with a large turret on each side, providing support and entrance from Jeddah to Makkah. It serves as a historic monument in one of the oldest areas of Jeddah and has been preserved with great care since the 1940’s when the wall around Makkah was torn down. When you look at this majestic structure you can tell that it would have been impenetrable in its heyday.

The place from where pilgrims used to visit Makkah in ancient times. The place and the shops around it are good. If u want to visit this place to get taxis to perform Umrah, remember that ahead of this spot, there's another spot named Mawqif Makkah, from where u can take taxis to Haram Makkah. They charge 15 riyals per seat.
