The Gate of the Tribes (, ) is located at the north-eastern corner of the Temple Mount. Its name refers to the 12 tribes of Israelites who left Egypt and came to the Holy Land to find the Promised Land. Bab al- Asbät is located to the east of the short northern side of the al-Aqsa enclave. Behind the gate, there is also a road as the Lions' Gate in the old city (also known as St Stephen's Gate).
