Syria: "khan" market reopens in Aleppo Old City Syrians tour the Khayr Beyk Khan market in the old souk of Aleppo, the second Khan to reopen its doors since the end of fighting in the northern city, retaken by the army from rebels in December 2016. The shops of Khayr Beyk had largely survived the fighting, even if some stores inside the two-floor inn, known in the region as a "khan", saw their facades ripped off. IMAGES
