Red Sea Museum’s inaugural exhibition "The Gate of Gates showcases a unique collection of photographs by renowned Saudi artist Moath Alofi that revives the soul of Bab al-Bunt, in the heart of Jeddah. Located in al-Balad, for decades Bab al-Bunt represented the main gateway through the Red Sea for millions of Muslim believers from around the world who traveled to Holy Mecca to perform their pilgrimage. Commissioned by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture to photograph Bab al-Bunt prior to its renovation and repurposing as a museum, Moath Alofi not only captures the rich architectural details of the place; he also encapsulates the sense of mystery behind the items he found abandoned in the building, objects of the past that recall another era and stand witness to the vitality of the place for hundreds of years.
