About Afghanistan
Afghanistan is chiefly a mountainous country; the Hindu
Kush and Kyber Pass, connecting Afghanistan and Pakistan, once
a magnet for adventurous travellers.
Map of
Kabul - The Capital of
Afghanistan
Ahmad
Shah Durrani unified the
Pashtun tribes and founded
Afghanistan in 1747. The
country served as a buffer
between the British and
Russian Empires until it won
independence from notional
British control in 1919.
Countries neighbouring Afghanistan:
Iran,
Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan,
Tajikistan,
China and
Pakistan.
Weather in Asia:
Local weather forecasts for destinations around Asia.
Afghanistan has no railways, and travel within the country is made
more difficult by the rugged terrain.
Rivers are used for transporting timber, but they are not navigable,
so camels and other pack animals are widely used for transporting goods over the mountain
areas.
Flights within the country are operated by
Ariana Afghan Airlines;
when the airports aren't closed.
Ariana Afghan Airlines: (FG)
With the Taliban out of power, the airline is trying to resume services.
Afghan Web:
Afghanistan Online provides updated news and information on Afghan culture, history,
politics, society, languages, sports, publications, communities and economy.
Kabul Museum:
Not quite the Louvre, but there is a tragic story here. Many glorious antiquities were
destroyed or looted when the museum was bombed in 1993. Only 52 pieces have been
recovered. Three galleries, although the bold italics can be a bit much.
