Historic Souks and Khans

Nestled within the alleys of Souk Al-Buzuriyeh is Khan Al-Ruzz (Rice Caravanserai), constructed in the 17th century to serve rice and wheat merchants arriving from the coast. The khan comprises a rectangular courtyard surrounded by two floors of rooms for goods and travelers, while its cross-vaulted ceilings provide excellent ventilation for grain storage.
