Baba Ghodrat Caravansarai is a historic inn from the Safavid period, now preserved as a cultural attraction. Its sturdy brick walls and arched iwans once sheltered traders along the Silk Road. Today, visitors can wander through the restored courtyard, admire the intricate tilework, and browse handicraft shops selling carpets, pottery, and souvenirs. The caravanserai offers a glimpse into Mashhad's past as a trading hub.
