The gate dates back to around 1126
CE when the
Almoravid emir Ali ibn Yusuf built the first walls of the city.
Doukkala, was that of both a
Berber tribe and of a region between Marrakesh and Casablanca today. Today the gate is flanked by other simple openings in the wall to allow for easy circulation. The city's main
intercity bus terminal is also located just outside and slightly north of Bab Doukkala gate.
