Bawabat – ‘gateways’ in Arabic – extends over 6.3 hectares of land filled with about 2,000 olive trees and several grass patches rimmed with a variety of flowers on both sides of the one-kilometre path which separates the area from the vast desert.

The “Gate of Angelic Amina” This door is placed by Madiha next to the room where she stays in the farm. The door has drawings of two angels, to remind her of her two children who died. A historic door Mansour found in a scrap market in Cairo, it features a baroque painting of two child angels.
The ‘Gate of Eternity’. A huge door characterised by cheerful colours. When the sun rays bend at sunset it reflects joyful light and is marked with the number 8 which symbolises infinity in China.
