Khan al-Rub’a

One of the archaeological khans in Iraq, 16 km from the center of Karbala Governorate, it was called Khan Al-Rub’, as it was located a quarter of the distance between Karbala and Najaf. Its construction dates back to the Ottoman era during the reign of Governor Suleiman Pasha the Great in 1983 AD. It is a rest stop for travelers, caravans and pilgrims. It was rebuilt in 1897 AD, and the last renovation and reconstruction process took place in 2011.
