Where is the oldest door of the Kaaba + Photo


According to the visual correspondent of Fars News Agency, after a two-year break due to coronary conditions, the pilgrims of our country will visit the land of revelation from June 12 this year. For this reason, we introduce the oldest door of the house of God, which is now a museum.

The oldest door in the house of God is nearly 4 centuries old. It is now housed in the Riyadh National Museum, which the Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi has been displaying for some time.

The oldest door to the Kaaba was built during the reign of Sultan Murad IV (the seventeenth king of the Ottoman Empire).

This door, made by Egyptian artists, remained on the eastern wall of the House of God for more than three centuries (from 1630) until in 1947, King Abdul Aziz (the first Saudi king) ordered the construction of a new door.

In the construction of this door, the process of which took nearly a year, more than 75 Kg of silver is used and its coating is gold.
