Khan Al-Tatin Market

In the alleys of the ancient Antioch market in Aleppo, the Tobacco Khan stands proudly, a mirror to a time when trade was the beating heart of the city. The people of Aleppo know the two adjacent khans as "the Great" for the old one and "the Small" for the new one, and they bear witness to the flourishing tobacco trade that thrived in the 18th and 19th centuries AD, during the Ottoman era, and maintained its economic and social standing in the city.
