It is worth mentioning that the sections of this gate are part of a large and vital project which is the expansion of the al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine, which spaces for modern doors are more large than the old ones, and with Islamic inscriptions and decorations with artistic connotations according to the design and location of each door, to be able to accommodate large number of visitors and Hussayni processions entering to the holy shrines. These Gates were designed and implemented by the Ard al-Quds Contracting Company under direct and field supervision by the Engineering Projects Department at the Holy Shrine. These gates are of high accuracy in execution due to the presence of special technical sections such as muqarnas and inscriptions and other artistic details, so they needed a great time commensurate with these works.
