Eid said there would be two identical arches on both sides of the road going to and out of Makkah to show the exact boundaries of the Haram. He added that the whole area of the arch would be 70 meters.

scot47, how did you cross the police check point?
Did not the police check your Iqama before entering Makkah and before reaching the Haram Boundaries?
