Zein-o-Din Caravanserai located 67 km from Yazd Road to Kerman dates back to Safavid era (17th century) when GanjAli Khan governed Kerman.

This Caravanserai is one of the most beautiful buildings of Safavid era and from architectural material point of view is not comparable to any other structure of the same kind.  reason for choosing a round and circular shape for the Zein-o-Din caravanserai was the ability to withstand sand storms in the central desert and to moderate the temperature inside.
