We came across this neighborhood one evening on our way back home from a supermarket, and I was so intrigued by a gate I wanted to go back and see more. It’s not as upscale a neighborhood as the one I photographed last year, but I always find it interesting to see how people live here.
This has to be one of the most impressive gates I’ve ever seen in this country.
Update: A translation and explanation of the writing on the gate, quoted from the Quran:
"In God’s will (Mashallah),
Strength is sought from Allah alone (God is the only source of power)"
(Mashallah is used to appreciate something that you own or have like a house, car, good looking kids, etc… which means that it was the will of God to get these gifts.
Also, it is mentioned to keep the evil eye and envy away.)
