The Old Khan restored to its former glories
17-07-2012
Few would have imagined that this ancient caravanserai could be restored to its former glories after it had been reduced to rubble by a powerful earthquake in 1927. Prior to that, generations of merchants had spent the night here on their travels from Asia to North Africa. But the earthquake left the site in such a state that nobody really believed it could be rebuilt… until the European Union decided to act and kick-start a restoration project. In the first 12 years of the project, only about three and a half years of construction work was done on the site due to conflicts, political standstill and civil unrest. But now the Old Khan is well and truly back and ready to take on a new challenge: to become an incubator for handicrafts, tourism and cultural services for the city of Nablus.
