Caravanserais (pronounced: care-uh-van-sir-eyes) are ancient buildings found all across Asia, Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Southern Europe. For ancient caravan travelers, they were like a cozy hotel after a long day’s journey. When travelers stayed at a caravanserai, they would often make new friends and share stories about their homes, their families, their cities, and their journeys.
