Fun Or Fear? Life In The Taliban's Afghanistan 🇦🇫

- Inside Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan 🇦🇫 Since I started to travel and explore Asia, Afghanistan has always been my dream country. The movies I have watched and the books I have read about Afghanistan have built dreamy expectations in my head of the country that I would not be able to experience anywhere else.
My visit did not disappoint - Afghanistan was time travel from bustling & unorganized bazaars, street shaves, same clothing in different colors, no brands, magnificent landscapes, and the bravest people with the biggest hearts of hospitality.
In my trip, we covered Mazar-i-Sharif, Kabul & Bamyan.
Visiting Afghanistan is a sensitive topic for many people. As in any country I go to, the main objective is to share the day-to-day life and spotlight the ordinary people that the mass media fail to capture. No matter how you feel about my trip, here is my summary.
Despite facing significant challenges, Afghanistan has many positive aspects that deserve recognition: diverse landscapes, rich history, warm hospitality, delicious cuisine, resilient people, and more!
Safety:
This was the biggest concern of many people I have talked to, and naturally, that has been the main worry when you enter a war-torn country over the last 40 years. With the takeover of the Taliban, the country is much safer than before; at least no conflicts are going on.
My Persian surname, which is the same as the current supreme leader of the Taliban, my cultural background, being a man with a +3 years long beard, and looking like one of the locals do not qualify me to talk about safety much when it comes to being a tourist. I had a significant advantage, considering the above.
Disclaimer: This is not a travel advisory. Afghanistan has a government that has not been recognized by any country, with no embassies and international relations. I am a professional traveler who explored the country with an organized guide.

I agree.
@@Ceylon-travellerNah its too far
You should start your own CZcams channel bro!@@Noorahmadansari1234
22:00 very interesting how he asked TB to get him a discount on the tourist price (was marked higher), and the TB told him we don't get involved in the people's business, otherwise people will say we interfered, he said there is a committee for this.
Noor is a patient, informative, polite, and high recommend guide. Thank you for showing your country Brother!
Welcome bro
Noor you are an example of the hospitality of Afghan people, may god bless u. Subscribed to your channel.@@Noorahmadansari1234

My imagine about Afghanistan was changed after watching your video. Such a lovely country from Sri Lanka
Afghanistan is a very nice country bro.
We had a lot of fun with davoud.
People’s are thinking they’ll not die that’s the main reason for war …respect all the religion and love each other this world will be more beautiful
❤from Bangladesh ❤
Your guide and driver both are soo humble and amazing just shows the true colors of Afghan people ❤
Thanks bro
Mr Noor is so polite and very very nice. Also has good knowledge and English language. Great man Mr Noor.
@@borisradomirovic3369 thanks my brother.
U r so kind.
We watched so meny Afghanistan videos ,thanks Davud ,noor and friened.
Noor is having too much fun. He needs his own you tube inshallah
That's beautiful lake, the view is amazing 30:08 , hope afghani people will recover soon from the earthquake🙏 , love from srilanka ❤🇱🇰
It's not Afghani it's Afghan
@@ItzTankzzit is Afghani
@@bannedone3ice138 I understand the confusion because I also thought it was Afghani but that is the name of the name of the currency. It is like instead of calling the people of Mexico Mexicans, you call them Pesos.
@@jannah5921 No, bro people from Afghanistan are call Afghani, just like their currency. I know because we have the most of them outside of Afghanistan. They’re our neighbouring country.
@@bannedone3ice138 I am Afghan myself and I used to think that too but it is not correct.
Hats off to your guide he is very brave lad despite not knowing swimming he took the guts to go for a boat ride
Thanks bro
@@Noorahmadansari1234 Pleasure noor and your english is damn good
@@tallo8455 thanks bro.
Flying over Afghanistan in CH-46 helicopters through my 4 deployments every day I prayed for peace and that I could explore one of the most beautiful countries i've even witnessed without my body armor. I realized that dream last year but I still can't get enough of videos here and of the people. Their hospitality beats North America and Western Europe any day.
Because they believe in God
Not as bad as i imagined..and this place is just beautiful.
Assalaamu Alaikum!
Thank you for visiting my beautiful country.. which I never had a chance to visit and showing everyone that it isn’t anything that media says and shows.
Your kind gesture for helping the poor and needy and doing your part as a human being not only in Afghanistan but other countries too speaks a lot itself.
May Allah swt reward you for your kindness.
Your tour guide was really trying to negotiate prices with everybody. But everybody kept trying to raise the price.That guy really tried to look out for you man. he has a really good heart
Vey nice Afghan people. Totally opposites like I thought. Thanks for uploading Davud to see the world's how things going over there..! You are one most Spiritual Person I ever saw. Have a nice one. Be safe. Love from 🇱🇰. ❤❤
the afghans suffered for decades but no one could take the smile off their face. may allah protect help them.
Just found your channel a few days ago. Now I'm binge watching your excellent Afghanistan videos.
The water is so stunning ♥️

Noor can Americans safely go to Afghanistan with you as a tour guide?
Also would an American woman be safe to travel to Afghanistan if they wear proper attire? I’ve had many friends known many amazing ppl from Afghanistan so I hope ppl understand many Americans do not listen to news media and would love to visit Afghanistan 🙏🏼

The colour of the lake water is unbelievable.
Unbelievable Dark blue colour, same thing I saw when you visit Pakistan but those lakes are in light blue..what a beautiful country Afghanistan, thank you very much for sharing this with us.your Sri Lankans ❤️🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Yeah maybe the minerals in the mountains it's very beautiful
@@margaretakwa5687 yes that may be the reason, thank you.
waited for your video Afghan seriess i love it❤
Lake views are amazing, rest felt bit scary too. Safe travels!
35:21 What a beautiful lake ,it looks so unreal 😮
watching from phillipines ❤ Stay safe always
Wow have never seen a lake with that colour here in Turkey, amazing bro!
Nice video. Nice to see you as a person of benevolence and humanity.
Excellent video! The sunglasses are upside down because the ear curves of the temple arms hold them onto the display more firmly. This is important in outdoors areas where it can be more windy. I hope that explains why. I've seen this only in tropical windy areas as well.
We have peace in Afghanistan now Alhamdulilah, we wish the same for the Palestinian people who are under extreme oppression.
Thank Allah for the help to liberate and save Afghanistan. Palestine will be soon. May Allah grant the Palestinian the strength and patience to fight against the occupation terrorist.
