| 1 mins read
Afghanistan is a country with a 5,000-year history, where 100,000 tourists visited annually from all over the world in the early 1970s to experience the embrace of the most hospitable community of humans and to see the unique beauty of the country. Despite decades of war, today, many parts of Afghanistan remain outstanding, ready to embrace and welcome explorers.
Afghanistan has a history of more than six thousand years, with many historical sites and attractions. Among these are the more than two-thousand-year-old famous Buddha Statues, the tomb of Hazrat E Ali (the Blue Mosque) in Mazar-e Sharif, the ancient city of Balkh known as Ummol-Belad (Mother of Cities) to Arabs and Bacteria to Macedonians, the lakes of Band-e Amir, whose deep lapis lazuli blue waters are a shocking contrast to the plain colours of the surrounding mountains.
Furthermore, to assist the Afghan tourism industry, a very local tourism agency, "Let's Be Friends!" has been established to organize wonderful tours around the country to introduce visitors to the tremendous Afghan culture and sites.
