Caravanserai - Staging Post Of The Desert

There were once thousands of caravanserai, staging posts for the weary traveler, dotted throughout Asia, North Africa and the South-Eastern parts of Europe.

The Silk Road, an important and extensive trans-continental network of routes, was dotted with them. Many caravanserai still survive, but more, like the one in the Lut desert of Iran are abandoned and slowly turning to dust.
