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.

It was an adventure to go there before eid al fotr as it was very busy and overcrowded. There are literally all you can imagine from original stuff to lowest copies. Electronics, perfumes, glasses, toys, clothes, furniture etc..... All the prices are negotiable si take care of scammers and know the price of what you are buying before you go. The historical gate cannot be seen well in the dark you should visit in the morning. The parking spaces are charged so take a lot of coins with you. Recommend

When I'm in historical places I always like to imagine my self at the time of the site I'm in and seeing myself between all the pilgrims that I made in my head then snapping back to reality was truly amazing
