Khan Asaad Pasha is the largest of the old khans of Damascus, covering an area of ​​2,500 square meters (27,000 sq ft). It is located in the middle of the Al-Buzuriya market, one of the heritage markets in the old city. It was built by Governor Asaad Pasha Al-Azm in the year (1167 AH / 1753 AD). Four years after the construction of the Azem Palace, Khan Asaad Pasha has been described as one of the finest khans in Damascus, and the most "ambitious" architectural work in the city. It hosted convoys from Baghdad, Mosul, Aleppo, Beirut and other places in the Middle East, during the period of the Ottoman era. It is the private property of the governor of Damascus, Asaad Pasha al-Azm, and its ownership was later transferred to a number of merchants, and then the Syrian Antiquities Directorate recently acquired it and restored it to be used as a site and a tourist market for popular industries in which exhibitions are held. During our visit, we benefitted of the explanation provided by the talented Director of the site, Ms Ghada Souleiman, with high appreciation of her devotion to her work.

The biggest and the most beautiful khan in old damascus. A very unique architectural design, very different from others khan of the city.

The architecture of this place is just magnificent, it's big and very beautiful. But it's almost empty inside, there's a small cafeteria with a fountain and chairs but on the upper floor it's empty. The price for a Syrian is 100 Syrian pounds but for foreigners it's 10 times more, I'm not saying it's a lot, but for an empty place ... Anyway I loved it.

It covers an area of 2,500 square meters. Khan As'ad Pasha al-Azem was built in 1758 by "As'ad Pasha al-Azem," an important historical landmark in Syria that attracts many tourists annually.

Albeit partially (definitely the biggest part of it) destroyed by religious extremists, the Roman Amphitheater at Palmyra have a great importance in world history and it's significance has actually increased with the suffered attacks. It is still worthy a visit with the whole complex, of course, and furthers studies and worlds are being conducted to restorated the temple and it's vicinities to it's former grandeur.
