Gate 6-A

The gates of the Prophet's Mosque have been numbered during the modern expansion periods carried out by Saudi Arabia. This gate, named after the Prophet's Mosque, is one of the main gates used by believers to enter the mosque. The gate numbering system was created to facilitate the regular entry of millions of visitors to the mosque, especially during the Hajj and Umrah seasons.
