Kabul Province

Kabul is a province in eastern Afghanistan comprising multiple districts across varying terrain. The region surrounds the nation's capital city and extends through different elevations and landscapes.

The province underwent significant change during the Soviet occupation from 1979 to 1989. This period reshaped both its population patterns and physical infrastructure in lasting ways.

Many ethnic groups have long lived side by side in this region, shaping how daily life unfolds across neighborhoods. This diversity is visible in local traditions, languages spoken, and the way communities gather in shared spaces.

Travel through the region depends on road networks that vary in condition and connect different areas. Visitors should allow extra time for journeys and check local conditions before traveling.

The region receives roughly 300 days of sunshine yearly, offering more daylight than many other areas. This weather pattern creates extended dry periods that shape both daily routines and travel possibilities.
