Ve starov\u011bku bylo m\u011bsto pojmenov\u00e1no Herakles podle mytick\u00e9ho hrdiny. Arab\u0161t\u00ed \u00fato\u010dn\u00edci jej v 9. stolet\u00ed p\u0159ejmenovali na Chandax a vybudovali mohutn\u00e1 opevn\u011bn\u00ed, jejich\u017e poz\u016fstatky lze vid\u011bt dodnes. M\u011bsto skute\u010dn\u011b vzkv\u00e9talo za Ben\u00e1t\u010dan\u016f, kte\u0159\u00ed ho prom\u011bnili v jeden z nejd\u016fle\u017eit\u011bj\u0161\u00edch obchodn\u00edch p\u0159\u00edstav\u016f ve v\u00fdchodn\u00edm St\u0159edomo\u0159\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
