Khan (inn)

Okay kiddo, imagine you and your family are traveling to a new city and you need a place to stay. There is a special kind of place called a khan, which is like a big building that has lots of rooms for people to sleep in.

It's kind of like a hotel, but different because it's usually found in places where people travel with things like camels or horses.

In the old days, people would travel long distances by these animals, and the khan was a place where travelers and their animals could rest and be safe.

Sometimes, the khan would also have a big courtyard where the animals could rest, and people could buy things to eat or drink. So not only was it a place to sleep, but it was also like a small community for travelers.

Nowadays, khans may not be used as much, but they are still important in some parts of the world where people travel long distances with their animals.
