Han el Ba'rur Caravanserai
Han el Ba'rur Kervansarayı
A 13th-century Ayyubid caravanserai ruin on the plain east of Harran, once a stop on the Silk Road.
Built in 1228 on the trade route linking Harran with Mardin and Baghdad, the caravanserai retains a square courtyard wall, a gateway, vaulted halls and a small mosque. It stands on the open Harran Plain and is usually visited as part of a Tektek Mountains loop with Suayb City, the Bazda Caves and Soğmatar. The site is open but has no facilities, so you will need to hire a car to get there.
