The Village Life Inside The Graveyard Of Empires - Afghanistan, Herat, Karokh 🇦🇫
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.

thats the thing, people don't even know Noor personally, and write huge paragraphs of negative assumptions about him in comments, from a few clips they saw online to criticising, I'd say ignore them, they're like flies who avoid the good things, and only land on bad places

Thank you Dovud you helping old man its so kind 👏
I love how you are looking after children and are so kind and generous to the people.❤
Thank you Davud, unlike other KZreadrs, you have been very generous. Even if I could, I would never take advantage of people which ever country I go to…That is Islam that has allowed an individual like you to show the world how to be fair to others in foreign countries…These people are hard working people.
Thank ypu again for the great videos Davud.
How truthful the old shoemaker is. As you said, the people there may be living with the battle scars, but they are simple and nice to even a foreigner. Let all get well in Afghanistan in the years to come. Your gentle nature is the most amazing thing you have, which the people from all parts of South Asia likes. May God bless Afghanistan.
Hello greetings from the Philippines🇵🇭🎉 hope to visit Afghanistan someday..Inshallah
Davud. You never seem to amaze me. You are so kind, respectful, and so extremely calm With a VERYYYYY BIGGGG HEART Davud, I just recently started following your channel, and I can actually say that you have GREAT content. GOOD JOB DAVUD. God bless and keep you safe. WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING.

Amazing video👍 مگر همی ترجمان زیاد گشنه چشم است
Salaam Alaykum. I love your videos and I am one of your followers currently I am living in Australia.If you can could you please go to Ghazni province as it is a historical city in Afghanistan and from Ghazni there was an Azerbaijan governor or ruler by the name of Azad Khan Afghan long time ago. Some of his descendants are still living in his village Azad Khan village in Ghazni Afghanistan. You can ask for Jebrail’s house he will help you with all information. If you need his contact I will give you.
ขอบคุณมากๆขอให้พบเจอแต่สิ่งดีๆๆนะครับ การให้คือความยิ่งใหญ่ของมนุษย์
