Tomb of Timur Shah Durrani

Tomb of Timur Shah Durrani, Royal mausoleum in downtown Kabul, Afghanistan.

The Tomb of Timur Shah Durrani is a mausoleum in central Kabul with a distinctive dome and ornate walls throughout. The interior and exterior feature intricate tilework and carved inscriptions that define this royal burial structure.

Timur Shah moved the Afghan capital from Kandahar to Kabul in 1776 and ruled until 1793. After his death his son Zaman Shah Durrani built the mausoleum. It was heavily damaged during the 1990s Afghan Civil War, then fully restored with the Aga Khan Development Network's aid in 2012.

Timur Shah moved the Afghan capital from Kandahar to Kabul in 1776, and his son Zaman Shah built the tomb after his death. The mausoleum stands on Timur Shah Road beside the Kabul River, next to Ayesha Durrani High School, in a shopping district.

The site stands in downtown Kabul and can be visited by those interested in exploring Afghanistan's royal history. Check local conditions and current travel advisories before planning a visit.

The mausoleum was reopened to the public on 19 October 2012, when former President Hamid Karzai and Aga Khan IV jointly inaugurated the restored building and its gardens. The site is a 1 ha historical park beside the Kabul River on Timur Shah Road, next to Ayesha Durrani High School.
