Israel, Jubb Yusuf, Khan(Caravanserai)

In 1440, at the time when Mamluks sultan Jaqmaq built a chain of khans in the country, it seems that Jubb Yussef was viewed as a holy place, where there may have been a small village near by, but no khan had been built there yet.

Their travel report mentions “a beautiful inn which was built not long ago, a stone’s throw away from the city”
