Long ago Jeddah was surrounded by a huge wall and it had gates to enter the city.
Now this gate(where passengers from Makkah would come through)is the one of the remaining gates,located at the Downtown of Jedddah.

The Makkah Gate, Jeddah 1906, taken by Dr F. G. Clemow. This picture was probably taken when Clemow was British representative on international commissions to enquire into the sanitary defences of the coast of Arabia and Hijaz Railway. (Clemow 1906)
