It’s the al-Bastakiya area, just by the Creek, where it’s possible to see restored traditional buildings – and their doors:

Not only do I have a photographic record of this piece of history, but Madame – whose talents are boundless – has also made a wall-hanging, which currently adorns our TV room:
