    Are you ready to discover the hidden gems of Afghanistan? Join me on an inspiring 5 week journey through this complex country, as I uncover the beauty, culture and resilience of the Afghan people.
    From the bustling streets of Kabul to the tranquil villages nestled in the mountains, this video takes you on a journey through Afghanistan's diverse landscapes and rich history.
    You'll get a glimpse into the daily lives of the Afghan people, as we visit local markets, explore ancient ruins, and meet with artisans and craftspeople who are keeping traditional Afghan culture alive.
    One of the highlights of my journey was a visit to the iconic Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif, a stunning architectural masterpiece with a rich history. I also experience the stunning natural beauty of Bamiyan and the Hazara people, who have been living in the region for centuries.
    Throughout the video, you'll see the resilience of the Afghan people, who have faced decades of conflict and hardship, yet continue to persevere and find hope for the future.
    This video is a must-see for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of Afghanistan and the people who call it home. Countless hours went into making this film, and I'd love to get your feedback in the comments below. How do you feel about long-form content like this? Your feedback is very valuable to me. Thank you, and please keep Afghanistan in your thoughts as they are going through a tough period.

      I’ve seen how your women dress though. Half their heads and ponytails hanging out of their hijabs in the masjid. It’s hard to believe they are oppressed at all, they barely wear hijab properly for all the fuss they and the world make about it. Compared to the Somali sisters in Jilbab the Iranian/Persian women at the masjid are practically no different than any western woman with her stuff all out.

    Have you noticed that even if you are born outside your country of origin/ethnic background, people will always ask you "where are you from"?. At least that's the case in US. It's a nice feeling to know where I come from ❤️🇦🇫🙏🏼

    Keep in mind that you are an foreign male person. That’s a huge privilege. Afghan people treat guests very well.
    My parents are afghan and I’m a female. You get treated like a piece of shit as a woman especially when you’ve grown up in the west.
    You can’t go alone and do some groceries. When you don’t cover your face, men keep staring and insult you. Sometimes you even get molested.
    Meanwhile my brothers had so much fun moving freely and doing what they want, I was not allowed to go out because of safety.
    There was my uncles wedding and when it came to having food, first the men get served and after they finished, some of the leftovers go to the women. That food which was touched by many people before. Disgusting!
    That infuriated me!

      The Quran says that the pursuit of knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim, that means yes every Muslim male and and female has a right to education. The women mixing with the men in the street isn’t against Islam it’s just not favorable for their culture.
