Israel, Beit Shean, Khan-al-Ahmar (Caravanserai)

This section talks about the Good Samaritan Inn but confuses several sites. The Good Samaritan Inn, which is also pictured, is not called Khan al-Ahmar but Khan Al-Hatruri. It is this which is described; nevertheless the remains “on the opposite side of the inn” are not St Euthymius but an unknown church discovered in 1934. St Euthymius is some 3.5 km southwest and has an inn associated with it. It is this inn which, in the 13th century, became the site of the red Khan, Khan Al-Ahmar, after which the village is named presumably.
