Bu Halima Enclosure








This grand gateway led to the tomb-garden of Bu Halima, of whom not much is known. The facade of the gateway is chamfered, and remnants of tilework can still be seen. Ornate domed canopies surmount the two northern bastions of the garden wall. The western wall of the garden was breached in the 19th century to allow access for visitors.
