$55 Street Shoe Shine In Herat - Afghanistan Under Taliban 🇦🇫
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.
After my first trip in 2023, this year I made another trip to Afghanistan, and as last time, 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.
On my second trip, we covered Kunduz, Kabul & Herat.
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 are my impressions as video content.
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. Since the Fall of Kabul in 2021 until the Chinese recognition in 2024, no country has recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan. There are no formal diplomatic & international relations.

You’re a good man. Being in Afghanistan in 2003 was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. As heartbreaking as inspiring. Despite being there in the midst of the GWOT, the people treated this American with great kindness and curiosity.
Greetings from Uzbekistan 🌅✨
That was so generous of you to have helped the old shoe cleaner. Your kind heart is what I like most, which has helped you to traverse even the inhospitable terrains. Mr.Noor, your guide has been of great help in this Afghan series.

Hi Davud, actually I was watching one of your videos of Istanbul's Strange Fish Market when I got notified of this new video. As I said before , I've been binging on all vlogs from Davud on KZread, nothing else. I just love your attitude, authenticity and kindness towards people in need of assistance. You are best vlogger in terms of sharing your wealth with people who really needs it. And your videos always has a story behind it. Thank you Davud for showing me places and people I would have never seen without your videos and for that I'm very grateful to you. Take care brother.
Love you bro from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Davuud you are like trying to feed all and asunder. Take it easy brother it can be insulting to your guide is my personal opinion sometimes.
"tell him to spend it on family and business" not like he can buy booze, drugs, or hookers in that place. Haram = death I am sure.
