Bab Doukkala

'gate of the Doukkala') is the main northwestern gate of the medina (historic walled city) of Marrakesh, Morocco.

The gate dates back to around 1126 CE when the Almoravid emir Ali ibn Yusuf built the first walls of the city.

[1] Unlike many other gates of the city, it has not been subject to major modifications (at least in its floor plan) and retains its original sophisticated bent entrance design from the Almoravid period.

[1][3] Today the gate is flanked by other simple openings in the wall to allow for easy circulation.

The city's main intercity bus terminal is also located just outside and slightly north of Bab Doukkala gate.
