Khan al-Sabun, Ottoman caravanserai in Tripoli, Lebanon.
The Khan al-Sabun features stone walls, arched doorways, and traditional architectural elements spread across multiple levels of the structure.
Built around 1500, this commercial building functioned as a crucial trading post where merchants stored goods and conducted business during the Ottoman period.
The name Khan al-Sabun reflects the structure's connection to soap production, a traditional craft that remains central to Tripoli's manufacturing heritage.
