Massoud Square

Massoud Square is a circular intersection in the eastern part of Kabul that connects several major roads near the Wazir Akbar Khan district. The roundabout features a modern drainage system connected to the Kabul River and directs traffic toward Hamid Karzai International Airport.

The square received its name from Ahmad Shah Massoud, a significant military commander, replacing its former designation as Shahr-e Naw. This renaming honors his historical role in Afghanistan's past.

The location serves as a central meeting point where people gather for social exchanges, public demonstrations, and community activities throughout the year.

This is a busy traffic hub where activity is heaviest during daytime hours, so plan your visit accordingly. A small park area was recently added, offering a place to pass through or rest briefly when navigating the intersection.
