The Door is a book documenting the new door of the Holy Ka’bah that was built at the order of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, the late King Khalid bin Abdulaziz. The publisher, The King Khalid Foundation, approached The Al Mansouria Foundation to provide the concept and execution of this art book. The Door not only documents the history and the making of, but illuminates the artistic and spiritual aspects of the door of the Holy Ka’bah, for the occasion of the exhibition “King Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.”
