The Double Gate

The Double Gate, also known as the door of the Prophet, is two adjacent gates, located on the southern side of the wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque just under the pulpit of the Imam, where it leads to the courtyards of the mosque through a double door, a corridor 82 m long and about 13 m wide and is called by the public "Old Al-Aqsa".

It ends with the staircase of its exit in front of the tribal chapel, 80 meters from the triple door.

[3] It now served as the mosque's al-Khataniyya Library that was also established in the remains of the Fatimid-era fortification tower, today entered through the western portal of the twin gate.

[4] Biblical archaeologists claim that this gate is one of the gates of the Temple Mount in the name of their eternity mentioned in their book “Book of Kings” This is a false claim that was not supported by historical or archaeological facts.

In evidence of their confusion about naming, Jewish archaeologist Meir Ben Dov claims that the naming probably belongs to “the mole animal that digs underground and exits the other area” projecting that description on the door whose corridor runs under the mosque to the squares.
