CRCF+GM7, Al Haram, Makkah 24231, Saudi Arabia
Go here if you want to see the viral escalator. And also Abu Bakar As Sidq house is around here which already turned into masjid
Gate 79 (King Fahd) is the current oldest built gate of Masjid Al Haram, constructed in the early 1990s. Like the other main gates surrounding the Mataf, the Ka’bah can be seen directly from entering its door. The opposite side of the gate and across the courtyard is the viral escalators
Expansion area in the Masjidil Haram....roof area very spacious
King Fahd Gate is one of the main entrances to Masjidil Haram, and it is absolutely massive and stunning. Many pilgrims enter through this gate because it leads straight to the prayer areas and Mataf. It is always busy, especially during prayer times, but the view as you step inside is breathtaking. Whether day or night, walking through King Fahd Gate always feels special.
Probably the best gate, it is very hard to enter when you’re not wearing the Ihram, but it takes straight to Kaaba, tried to reach Kaaba using different gates but couldn’t unfortunately
