Bab lkhokha, City gate in Medina of Fez, Morocco.
The stone-built Bab lkhokha gate displays traditional Moroccan architectural elements with detailed geometric patterns and fortified entrance design.

Local traders and artisans gather near Bab lkhokha daily, maintaining centuries-old traditions of commerce within the medina's marketplace network.
The gate provides direct access to the southern section of Fez Medina, with numerous craft workshops and traditional markets in the surrounding streets.
Bab lkhokha serves as one of the main entry points to the world's largest car-free urban area, where 9,400 narrow streets create a medieval labyrinth.
