Bab Berdieyinne, City gate in Medina of Meknes, Morocco.

The Bab Berdieyinne gate features Islamic architectural elements with detailed stone carvings and traditional geometric patterns across its structure.

Construction of Bab Berdieyinne occurred during the early 18th century under Sultan Moulay Ismail, who established Meknes as the capital of Morocco.

The gate's name derives from its historical connection to a market where vendors sold packsaddles, reflecting the commercial heritage of Meknes.

Located at coordinates 33.901082, -5.568317, the gate remains accessible throughout the day as one of the main entrances to the old city.

The adjacent mosque's minaret, which collapsed in 2010, was reconstructed following direct orders from King Mohammed VI to maintain historical specifications.
