In 1775, the City of Acco was besieged by an Egyptian Ottoman officer by the name of Ahmed al-Jazzar, who executed Daher el-Omar as a rebel against the Ottoman regime.
Ahmed al-Jazzar pursued Daher el-Omar's endeavor and established Acco as the main commercial city of the entire region.
It was during this period that numerous mosques, bathhouses (hammams), khans and bazaars were built to serve the city's citizens.
