The Khān at al-Sukkariyya: A Station on the Gaza-Hebron Route

520 |a Probably in 1317 a charitable road-inn, a khān, was erected at Sukkariyya, a site that catered to the Cairo-Damascus road at least since the early Islamic period. In this article we examine a rich repertoire of literary, epigraphic, and documentary evidence that sheds some light on this village and its inn. We learn this was a khān al-sabīl, a charitable public inn, which gave accommodation to all faiths and all types of travelers. The Western pilgrims who passed this inn would have either come from or were heading to Gaza, St. Katherine's Monastery, and Cairo. We also suggest that the amīr Āl Malik (d. 1346) might be its patron, and note the possibility that the “fair mosque” seen by Felix Fabri and his companions in 1483 adjoining the inn is the one mentioned in an inscription recovered at the site in the 20th century, dating the mosque's erection to 1336. Later the village of al-Sukkariyya and its lands may have been part of an endowment of amīr Fakhr al-Dīn ʿAbd al-Ghanī bin Abī ʾl-Faraj, ustādār of sultan al-Muʾayyad Shaykh, and surely part of sultan Qāytbāy's waqf lands. We see use of the khān waning around 1500, and by the middle of the 16th century, even the village was abandoned and returned to agriculture.
