Bab Debbagh, City gate in Medina of Marrakesh, Morocco

Bab Debbagh features high stone walls and decorative archways, marking a significant entrance point into the northern section of Marrakesh's ancient Medina.

The gate, constructed as part of Marrakesh's defensive system, stands near traditional tanneries that have operated continuously since the medieval period.

The name Bab Debbagh translates to Tanners Gate, reflecting its location next to leather workshops where artisans maintain centuries-old production methods.

Visitors will find the gate at coordinates 31.634143, -7.979041, with the surrounding area most active during morning hours when tannery workers process leather.

The stone gate maintains its original function as a passage between the tannery district and the Medina, surrounded by the sounds of leather craftsmen.
