Afghanistan
It should be noted that much of the land in Afghanistan is still mined and, therefore, trips outside urban areas are ill-advised and dangerous.
• Visit Afghanistan's capital, Kabul; Although one-third of all public buildings and approximately 40% of the houses were completely destroyed in 2001, a few conventional attractions for tourists remain. These include the Gardens of Babur and a well-presented museum, and the ancient walls of the citadel Bala Hissar. There are plans to re-open the National Gallery.
• Tour Jalalabad, the capital of the Nangarhar Province, which used to be an attractive winter resort, with many cypress trees and flowering shrubs.
• Take in the Red City (Shahr-i-Zahak), 17km (11 miles) from Bamian, and the location of the remains of another ancient citadel.
