 Imagine a time when journeys were measured in weeks, not hours. Welcome to the era of Caravanserais, innovative roadside inns developed by the Persians. Straddling the Silk Road, these establishments were more than just stops for weary travelers. They were lifelines providing accommodation, food and other necessities to both humans and their animals. Each Caravanserai was a world in itself bustling with life and stories from far off lands. They were the quintessential pit stops, fostering trade and cultural exchange along the ancient routes of commerce. So next time you stop at a modern-day rest area, remember the Caravanserais. They paved the way for the convenience we enjoy today. From the dusty trails of the Silk Road to your next road trip, the spirit of the Caravanserai lives on. Join us again for another bite-sized journey into history.
