Khan Al-Hanta

Historic Souks and Khans

Khan al-Hinṭa, or the Grain Khan, was historically used for the storage and trade of wheat, playing a vital role in the commercial life of the city.

Constructed in the Ottoman architectural style, the khan is referenced in a dated document suggesting it was built in the year 1726 CE.

Its design reflects the typical features of Ottoman caravanserais, with spacious storage areas, internal courtyards, and strong stone walls adapted for both security and commercial activity.
