Day 1: Arriving In Kabul (extreme travel) - Afghanistan Under Taliban 🇦🇫
Вставка

- 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.

Great
Great job ❤
Many Indian Travellers are also visited Afghanistan in past 1 year. Atleast for Indians, Taliban and local peoples are very friendly and supportive. 🇮🇳♥️ 🇦🇫
Welcome to Afghanistan brother 🙏❤️🇦🇫🕊️⚛️
I am watching you from the UK, and I am from Afghanistan.
When I am watching you with this interpreter, I appreciate him the most, whatever he is telling in your background for the people in my language is all for your benefit that makes me proud, he is trying his best to show you we (Afghans) are nice, fair, and welcoming.
Strange. Why are you in Uk😂
@@bonito34 Many Afghans were born outside of Afghanistan because of Secular Liberal terrorism and Communist terrorism
@@keyboardmouse7699liberal terrorism ? That’s a new one. Erm, the UK is a secular place lol, why would they escape Afghanistan to go to a secular place 😂So now that there are no communists or liberals in Afghanistan, I assume all these people ( including yourself ) are going to move back to the great homeland right ? They will leave the UK straight away surely ?
I'm American and served in Afghanistan on three different occasions. The Afghan people are very hospitable and nice! These videos bring back some nice memories of Afghanistan. Best wished to you!
💯
I like the simplicity and rawness of your vlogs.
Thank you for watching! ❤
*_Persian Empire, Mongolian Empire, Safavid Iran, Macedonian Empire, Ottoman Empire, British Empire, Soviet Union, United States of America - the Greatest Nations in the History of Humankind possessing the greatest armies of their time Failed to Conquer Afghanistan! This Mountain Lands trully deserse their Nickname - "The Graveyard of Empires"!_*
Britain imposed the Treaty of Paris on Iran to protect its colony, India, from the Soviet Union. The two sides of the agreement were Iran and England. And then in 1923, England appointed Amanullah Shah as the king, and from now on, a country called Afghanistan came into existence. And this was actually a part of Iran's soil. Not an independent country that Iran wants to conquer. And Afghanistan was created only to protect the British colony, India.
Osiris conquered them through sick moves and giving his seed.
@@Alireza1385Iran is a part of Afganistan.
Didn't Alexander the great sweep through Afghanistan like everywhere else
Thank you so much for giving us more views on Afghanistan 🇦🇫. When I saw the title and flag I clicked so fast. I love your tour guide I saw how they're protecting you in the first video even from their own 😊 but I cannot forget the humanity...God bless you richly dear. Am loving Afghanistan vlogs
not only are you a world traveller but you also make this world a better place,if more travellers can be like you ,this world will be a far better place. I take my hat off to you, a golden heart. I had two azerbaijan friends who studied with me in KL one was Kamal and the other mehdi. great guys ,greetings from CT.
You were in the room opposite mine in the Hotel!! You should’ve knocked and said hi!! I’m 6 weeks here now ! Would’ve loved to catch up 😊
How would he have known that 😂
@@RVSMX haha same way I knew lol .. it’s a small place and the hotel workers tell everyone who’s who that’s staying lol ..
@WanderingEmma I guess he's got priorities lol! I'll be sure to watch your videos once I'm done over here 👍
@@RVSMX yes I’m sure lol , I was saying that with Satire when I made that first comment lol
@@WanderingEmma lol understood no worries 👍
I really enjoy this independent content from places where we hear and see a lot but mostly in the news. Thank you, great video and best of luck with everything
Thanks from Australia. Such a cool, interesting experience to be taken through Kabul with you.
Great content, thanks Davud.👍 !
Restaurants are clean and beautiful
Exactly one thing about taliban is they implemented weekly check ups at restaurants, stores, and factories ect to check standards are being met.
Very much
Cleaner than USA
It is like worst Mcdonald of Italy
Do they have a good wine cellar and range of craft beers. If not, it’s shit.
I love traveling but its highly unlikely that I’ll be able to visit Afghanistan so thank you for showing me what it would be like.
Always welcome bro
No worries for you
Great video, tons of things to learn about present Afghanistan. Thank you for sharing! Regards from Tampa, Florida.
🇹🇷🇦🇿♥️ kardeslik asla bölünmez
Thank u so much davud for showing us and sharing the beauty of places we can't go to like Afghanistan. We wish Afghanistan to develop more.much love from srilanka.we adore u very much and God bless .From the whole world the most kind people exist in Afghanistan and we saw it because of u.❤🇱🇰🇱🇰❤ love you
Thanks for showing Kabul. Have safe travel David God bless you.
Smart attitude of afgan people mesmerise me!
Love from Bangladesh!
I pray that every day will be full of comfortable and happy days for Afghans as before! Everyone in Afghanistan needs to be happy In the meantime, innocent civilians have suffered a lot due to the numerous wars, so I pray that you will continue to live a normal and small happiness like the people of other countries Nobody hates Afghanistan Come on, Afghans🎉
Women in Afghanistan have a far from normal life sadly. No rights, education is outlawed. Hell on earth for any woman with a brain.
👍
Yes but under terrorist control they will never be truly free.
I stumbled across your video a week or so ago & have enjoyed watching more. So educational...things I will probably never see..thank you & great content! Safe travels!
Thanh’s for showing your travels. Looking forward to seeing more of your travel videos in Afghanistan 🇦🇫
You are a great traveller, generous, kind and very honest, you are matching Afghans hospitality and generosity 👌😊
Really afgnisthan isn't like that what media and others world shows.
it's really nice country .people are really nice , friendly and lovely .
Thank you brother for showing real afganisthan .i really appreciate you❤❤❤
To bad women have been brutally restricted and these extremists have ruined any progress made for normal civilians. The day the Extremists are gone.. Afhganistan can see progress..
Thanks, for your nice comment
Shame on lauda Bharat also called as india
@@spencernelsen1697 keep crying.. Taliban zindabad from indonesia..
nice friendly terrorists and nice friendly men beating up women for going to school. nice friendly place.
Also, We are very excited to watch kabul in your eyes. ❤ from Bangladesh.
Speaking as an afghan 🇦🇫
When it comes to Afghanistan, luxury wise; it’s not the best. But we focus more on respect, discipline and honor.
Love and support from Australia 🇦🇺
Why you are in Australia, go to your Taliban ruled Afghanistan and enjoy rest of the life
hurry up!
take a plane….
@@sassysam6998sister, agree with you
@@sassysam6998 He's talking about the people, not the government. Learn to make the difference. Plus your claims about the government are baseless anyway with no evidence, all just emotions.
@@sassysam6998 solution is to see the problems and work on it!!!
especially women’s rights 👍🏻
Afghanistan is one of those countries that I really want to visit before I die. Growing up, I always heard bad things because of the war, but after seeing it through a different lens (you, Bald and Bankrupt) I really feel like I need to see it for myself.
Always welcome
Welp it’s a cheap country and it’s safe I would go there
Make sure it's your last country cause you might not make it out 😂
@@munibkhan2730 welcome
@@mcCorn6478more chance than surviving in a school in America....😂
One thing i must say Davud that ur guide in Afghanistan is very helpful and cheerful ..I noticed wenever you want or need any help or suggestion hes forever tell you WHY NOT..its his pleasure ..Im gonna miss ur guide wen you leave Afghanistan...but above all Davud guess one important issue not or i think neva covered ...😮😮😮 mentioned
Thanks a lot
Beautiful Afghanistan🇦🇫, people of there are very welcoming. as a indian🇮🇳 I very much like my friendly county Afghanistan.
India & Afghanistan Brotherhood zendabad ❤❤❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Asimj5958 thank you so much❤ Brother.
No never Indian and Afghani people are not same very big difference.. 🇦🇫❤️🇦🇫
@@AsifKhan-gw7fm Pakistani na? Tari jali na ttp kasa thumara la raha ha 😂
Bro thank you so much for this type of content, I love to see places I'll probably never see. Your videos would jump from a B to an A+ if you could add subtitles though. Subtitles would be huge!
I enjoyed watching interesting videos about Afghanistan.
I have a few Afghan friends in South Korea since the Taliban under controlled,
and I feel very sorry for how much they miss their homeland. I hope this video can provide some comfort to these friends.
Another lovely video in Kabul ...ur guide is such a character
I am happy that you are enjoying your trip, but I have some suggestions for you.
I know your Guide is a very honest person. Since you start your journey in Afghanistan he wants to find some low-price restaurants and hotels, and he just wants the best for you. But as a tourist, If you want to experience the best journey in Afghanistan you have to ask them for expensive and luxury Hotels and restaurants. I know there are the best restaurants like Golden Star, The Cafeteria, Zarafat, etc.
and you have to go to Baber Garden where is the Baber Shah tomb and also Darlaman Castle. I hope you enjoy it more and have the best experience in Kabul.
I miss Kabul 🥺 and I am happy that I have the opportunity to see my beautiful Kabul on your UA-cam channel.
Thank you!
Go back
@@luciaczitrom8632it’s too dangerous for foreigners

It's great they wash their hands before eating which is a positive thing for being clean.
It’s in Afghan culture they wash the hand before eat afghan are very clean
U guys don't? Big culture shock for me 💀
Salam Davud brother, watching you and having a good time in Afghanistan making me to go Afghanistan one day InshaAllah. You will get more knowledge about Afghanistan and the food if your guide gets off his phone and help you out in translating correctly and guide you the right way!!!! Stay safe
Mira riquito y blanquito... Be grateful of their service and respect they provided you. The man who served you is a good humble man and that is their business... Your sense of entitlement shined through.
You are a good soul brother, more power to you
Davud the traveler, you gave us a very rare chance to know about Afghanistan, through this series which we cannot reach by other media, l think this country should be recommended by the world, so it can be appear as a more stable state for the sake of there people.
Very informative content, thank you.
Watching you from Switzerland originally from Kaboul very happy u have been there and you are portraying very well my beautiful country
Thanks for showing the positive side of Afghanistan, I hope I will meet you before you left Afghanistan, I Live in Nangarhar province of Afghanistan, which is Neighbor Province to Kabul

16:31 - Both pilau and biryani are eaten in Pakistan and are not considered the same at all.
Pilau = chicken or lamb (on the bone), boiled in spices for the fragrant ‘yakhni’ (meat broth) that the rice is then cooked in.
Biryani = the meat sauce and rice are prepared separately, layered in tiers, then steamed. There are many regional variations, with some people adding ingredients such as plums, potatoes and mint.
Pulao is eaten in Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan we have various kinds of pulaos. It is cooked in meat broths and usually with meat as well and spices. Biryani is a dish from Sindh region in Punjab. It’s not native to other regions like Punjab and KPk in Pakistan. Diff regions have different cuisines.
Welcome to my beautiful country Afghanistan 🇦🇫. Hope you enjoy it and stay safe 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇫♥️🇦🇫♥️🇦🇫
Your country is beautiful but Taliban is not like that
Sorry to hear that. Do you have any problems with Talibans. ???
@@simasadat6635 they don’t respect others religion, as example they destroyed one of the biggest Buddhist sculpture in 2001, they don’t respect women, they stopped woman education, jobs, business.
@@simasadat6635no
It's not beautiful
Davud you’re nice & generous. Cheers!
Afghanistan is wonderful country for tourists and traveling to enjoy historic places, delicious foods, and lovely people with hospitablity.

Hi, I watch your videos. Great viewing. Greetings from the Czech republic
👏👏👍👍
Wow, what a difference to the stuff I have seen before. Such nice people. I want to visit, the food looks delicious.
Very very nice Kabul jan❤❤❤❤
Your videos have shown us how to act with others. How to respect other cultures. My views on this place we call Earth has changed because of these videos so i thank you for that. This also is showing how we shouldnt trust the media or the powers at be. PEOPLE ARE AWESOME!!!!
Then why when other cultures come to EU or USA, we locals need do bend to their will and ways, why they dont respect our ways and aclimate?
@@ivanmarjanovic5891 These idiots respect a culture where women are treated like subhumans.
Pathetic imbeciles! and they try to leave their hell to impose their " culture" on the west.
@@ivanmarjanovic5891
Because you don't have no culture.
@@Exceedtherealm tell yourself that...monkey from jungle or desert rat. I traveled all acros Syiria Jordan an Israel before Syrian war, i have seen how people are treated there. First they dont care about them selfs, their enviroment. They are not clean, streets full of trash and garbage. Children are for them workforce. If you are not keep yourself in order clean and you dont care about yourself. How you will take care about anyone else? Only when you all come to EU or US. You start to see how bad you have live your lives, how bad your countries are. And dont start about how you are colony how EU exploit you. You let them do that with you ignorance and coruption.
loving this my man :)
Alhumdulilah. I wishto luve here one day inshallah
