King Abdul Aziz Gate 1

The King Abdul Aziz Gate features square architectural elements and modern design elements that differ from traditional Saudi religious architecture patterns.

The gate stands as part of the extensive renovation efforts during the Malik Abdullah expansion of Masjid al-Haram between 1970 and 1980.

This entrance serves as one of the primary access points to the sacred Kaaba, visible directly through the gate from Ajyad Street.

The gate incorporates specific accessibility features, including wheelchair ramps and wide pathways to accommodate visitors with mobility requirements.

Among the 200 gates of Masjid al-Haram, this entrance marks a departure from Ottoman-influenced design toward contemporary architectural expression.
