A caravanserai is a stable with an associated inn where caravans could rest and recover from the day's journey. Westernization of the Persian word sarayı with the meaning dwelling, palace or enclosed courts. The word carvan has also a Persian origin.
Often confused with Seraglio, another westernization of the same Persian word (through Turkish), but with a somewhat different meaning in English.
