the old gateway known as the Bab al-Mansour at one end of the Place el-Hedim, the main square of Meknes in Morocco. It incorporated some columns from the nearby Roman ruins of Volubilis.
La Bab Mansour, rue Dar Smen, Meknès, Maroc.
S’ouvrant sur la place el-Hédime, cette large porte, une des plus belles portes de la ville, fut commandée par Moulay Ismaël au 18e siècle.
La ville a été fondée au 11e siècle par les Almoravides en tant qu'établissement militaire. Elle fut la capitale du pays durant le règne d'Ismaïl ben Chérif (1672-1727), fondateur de la dynastie alaouite. Il en fit une impressionnante cité de style hispano-mauresque ceinte de hautes murailles entourant le cœur historique de la ville et percées par 70 portes monumentales qui montre aujourd'hui l'alliance harmonieuse des styles islamique et européen dans le Maghreb du 17e siècle.
Meknès est ainsi l'une des quatre villes impériales du Maroc et sa médina est inscrite à la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO (WHL-793) depuis 1996.
Die Altstadt von Sana'a ist ein UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe (in Gefahr).

-Hassan....
I was waiting for you.
-Were you waiting for me?
-Be a witness of my death.
-Why me?
lam so scared to death.
-Exactly.
And if we told the kid
in the dark, in her mother's belly;
"There is a world full of light outside,
with high mountains, with vast seas, with undulating planes, with flower gardens, streams,
sky full of stars, flaming sun......
and you, in the face of so many miracles,
you stay locked in the dark"
But he knows these miracles before he is born
he wouldn't believe anything, like us in the face of death.
That's why we're afraid.
-But death cannot be light
Because it's all over.
-How could death be the end of something that has no beginning?
Hassan, my son.
Don't be sad on my wedding night.
-On the night of your wedding?
-Yes, my wedding to eternity.
The time has come.....
Leave me alone, but come back later and cover my body with sand.
…
-You're going alone?
-I'll find my way.
-But you will be wrong.
-Who trusts will not get lost, my little angel
He who lives in peace will never be lost.
God travels in as many ways as there are people on earth.
Bab Agnaou (Arabic باب اكناو) is one of the nineteen gates of Marrakech, Morocco. It was built in the 12th century in the time of the Almohad dynasty.
While Bab er Robb was the official entrance to the city, Bab Agnaou gives entrance to the royal kasbah in the southern part of the medina of Marrakech. The kasbah, built by the Almohad sultan Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, is the site of El Mansouria (the kasbah mosque), the El Badi Palace and the Saadian Tombs.

Bab Zuweila is one of three remaining gates in the walls of the Old City of Cairo, the capital of Egypt. It was also known as Bawabbat al-Mitwali during the Ottoman period, and is sometimes spelled Bab Zuwayla. It is considered one of the major landmarks of the city and is the last remaining southern gate from the walls of Fatimid Cairo in the 11th and 12th century.
It has twin towers (minarets) which can be accessed via a steep climb. In earlier times they were used to scout for enemy troops in the surrounding countryside, and in modern times, they are hailed for providing one of the best views of Old Cairo.
The structure also has a famous platform. Executions would sometimes take place there, and it was also from this location that the Sultan would stand to watch the beginning of the hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
Sometimes the severed heads of criminals would be displayed along the tops of the walls. This was done as recently as 1811, when the severed heads of Mamluks from the Citadel massacre were mounted on spikes here.

Elle date du XIVème siècle. C'est une des cinq portes mérinides de Fès-el-Jédid. Au moment de l'arrivée des Français à Fès, elle était murée depuis de longues années à la suite d'une épidémie de typhus ou de peste et par mesure sanitaire : il se dit que cadavres étaient jetés dans le ravin extérieur et que c'est pour épargner au quartier l'odeur nauséabonde du ravin que l'on mura la porte.
De nos jours, parfaitement restaurée, la porte marque l'entrée dans Fès-el-Jédid. Un jardin est en cours d'aménagement sur la pente.
