Bab az-Zahra

Saladin Street in Bab az-Zahra

Bab az-Zahra (Arabic: باب الزاهرة Bāb az-Zāhra) is an Arab neighborhood in East Jerusalem, north of the Old City. It is bordered by the American Colony to the north, Wadi al-Joz to the east, Herod's Gate and Damascus Gate on its south, and Mas'udiyyah and Mea Shearim to the west. Herod's Gate, which is called Bab az-Zahra in Arabic, lent its name to this neighborhood.
