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.
