About Khan Murhjan Inn

Khan Murjan was constructed in 1356 AD during the rule of the Jalairid dynasty by Amin al-Din Murjan, a wealthy official and patron of architecture. Originally designed as a caravanserai—a roadside inn for travelers and merchants—the khan served as a vital waypoint for caravans traversing the Silk Road and trade routes connecting Baghdad to Syria, Persia, and beyond.
