	Caravanserais were commonly constructed by the ~~caliphs~~, their relatives and members of the local elite to display their piety and generosity.

	No two caravanserais were alike. Even if most of them featured a large courtyard surrounded by a wall, both their physical appearance and available facilities varied widely from one to the other. In plains and deserts, the courtyard would be open and the walls made of dried bricks, while in the mountains, a fully roofed area would keep out rain and snow.
