الباب الكبير لسور اللواتية

The heavy, carved wooden gate of Al Lawatia neighborhood in Muttrah marks the boundary of a private community that has stood here for centuries. Behind these walls, the descendants of merchants from the Sindh region built a dense maze of alleyways and ornate balconies to shield their families from the heat and the public eye. When the gate was bolted shut at night, the neighborhood became a self-contained fortress, keeping the rhythm of trade and family life entirely hidden from the bustling souq outside.
