Fun Or Fear? Life In The Taliban's Afghanistan 🇦🇫
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2024
- 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.
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.
In my trip, we covered Mazar-i-Sharif, Kabul & Bamyan.
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 is my summary.
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. Afghanistan has a government that has not been recognized by any country, with no embassies and international relations. I am a professional traveler who explored the country with an organized guide.

Noor is an amazing guide, he really works in your interest and is well mannered and educated.
Thanks bro
@@Noorahmadansari1234noor visit sri lanka
I agree.
@@Ceylon-travellerNah its too far
You should start your own TH-cam channel bro!@@Noorahmadansari1234
22:00 very interesting how he asked TB to get him a discount on the tourist price (was marked higher), and the TB told him we don't get involved in the people's business, otherwise people will say we interfered, he said there is a committee for this.
Noor is a patient, informative, polite, and high recommend guide. Thank you for showing your country Brother!
Welcome bro
Noor you are an example of the hospitality of Afghan people, may god bless u. Subscribed to your channel.@@Noorahmadansari1234

@@Noorahmadansari1234noor, inshallah i ever go to Afghanistan i will contact you for my tour guide. Great work.
@@lokoteconunoshuevotes4685 inshallah bro
My imagine about Afghanistan was changed after watching your video. Such a lovely country from Sri Lanka
Afghanistan is a very nice country bro.
We had a lot of fun with davoud.
People’s are thinking they’ll not die that’s the main reason for war …respect all the religion and love each other this world will be more beautiful
❤from Bangladesh ❤
Noor seems like a genuinely awesome person. I hope things are well for him in Afghanistan
Hi
Everything is good
@@Noorahmadansari1234 ong you have a youtube account? Haha hiiii noor!!! Hope you are well. There should be female tourist guides too for.females to travel. Id lpve to come but im.scared theres not enough women out.
Flying over Afghanistan in CH-46 helicopters through my 4 deployments every day I prayed for peace and that I could explore one of the most beautiful countries i've even witnessed without my body armor. I realized that dream last year but I still can't get enough of videos here and of the people. Their hospitality beats North America and Western Europe any day.
Because they believe in God
Your guide and driver both are soo humble and amazing just shows the true colors of Afghan people ❤
Thanks bro
Mr Noor is so polite and very very nice. Also has good knowledge and English language. Great man Mr Noor.
@@borisradomirovic3369 thanks my brother.
U r so kind.
We watched so meny Afghanistan videos ,thanks Davud ,noor and friened.
Noor is having too much fun. He needs his own you tube inshallah
That's beautiful lake, the view is amazing 30:08 , hope afghani people will recover soon from the earthquake🙏 , love from srilanka ❤🇱🇰
It's not Afghani it's Afghan
@@ItzTankzzit is Afghani
@@bannedone3ice138 I understand the confusion because I also thought it was Afghani but that is the name of the name of the currency. It is like instead of calling the people of Mexico Mexicans, you call them Pesos.
@@jannah5921 No, bro people from Afghanistan are call Afghani, just like their currency. I know because we have the most of them outside of Afghanistan. They’re our neighbouring country.
@@bannedone3ice138 I am Afghan myself and I used to think that too but it is not correct.
Hats off to your guide he is very brave lad despite not knowing swimming he took the guts to go for a boat ride
Thanks bro
@@Noorahmadansari1234 Pleasure noor and your english is damn good
@@tallo8455 thanks bro.
i heard lots of people have died due to earthquake. hope people are safe now
Vey nice Afghan people. Totally opposites like I thought. Thanks for uploading Davud to see the world's how things going over there..! You are one most Spiritual Person I ever saw. Have a nice one. Be safe. Love from 🇱🇰. ❤❤

Thank you for visiting my beautiful country.. which I never had a chance to visit and showing everyone that it isn’t anything that media says and shows.
Your kind gesture for helping the poor and needy and doing your part as a human being not only in Afghanistan but other countries too speaks a lot itself.
May Allah swt reward you for your kindness.
It is so good to see Afghanistan recovering from the invasion.
Been following your Afghanistan series religiously. Very raw and real experience. Funny how you blend in so well 😅 Good job Davud!
Also, lots of respect for Noor aswell. You are representing the Afghan people in the best manner. Thank you for being considerate
Thanks a lot brother.
The water is so stunning ♥️

Yes exactly
Just a pleasure to watch,,, love you all,,, They are not only brave but friendly and honest people as well,,, Respect to the Talibani boy who did not interfere in other boys work,, ❤❤

Noor can Americans safely go to Afghanistan with you as a tour guide?
Also would an American woman be safe to travel to Afghanistan if they wear proper attire? I’ve had many friends known many amazing ppl from Afghanistan so I hope ppl understand many Americans do not listen to news media and would love to visit Afghanistan 🙏🏼

The lake looks like a jewel! It’s so blue!!
Peace and harmony for Afghanistan..scenic view..subhanallah. Thankyou Davud for showing us the hidden beauty.. amazing. Allahuakbar
Wow... that lake was breathtaking...❤❤
30:28 This is the funniest moment😂 🇱🇰❤️
Thank you for making this ❤
waited for your video Afghan seriess i love it❤
woow !!!
beautiful place ❤❤❤
Excellent video! The sunglasses are upside down because the ear curves of the temple arms hold them onto the display more firmly. This is important in outdoors areas where it can be more windy. I hope that explains why. I've seen this only in tropical windy areas as well.
Amazing view of the Lake
Subhanallah…beutyfull Afganistan …. Thanks mr Davud bring we here
Very beautiful and cool place with kind people ❤
Wow these Taliban members first asked for permission in pashto to take picture or not with you and secondly they said we cant help you with price because its a private company. They did say that he is charging you a forgiener price but still didnt interfere to use his power to bring down the price for you. This shows how much obedient they are to the rules and their commanders if it was previous government members they would use their force to get that man the price down because previous government forces were educated vulgars. The uneducated taliban are much better then them.
Exactly, when he said he cannot get involved with the private corporation and their pricing - proud moment to see people not abuse their power!
One of the first step to develop a country is fighting corruption. This is a perfect example that the current government is doing this successfully. I hope they can make Afghanistan a beautiful, safe and developed country like it was before the war.
The Taliban are more educated than you and people like you.
Taliban means student so how they are uneducated
@@fghan786 they are famous for being called in educated illiterate people by the prevouse government supporters I don't call them that
What a nice guy you are! I'm full of energy and joy while watching your video.
Wow so beautiful lake. Who knew there’s something like that in Afghanistan
35:21 What a beautiful lake ,it looks so unreal 😮
Love this 🖤❤️💚🇦🇫
omg the mobile phone 😂😂😂😂😂as if the driver decides to a Talibs phone 😂😂😂😂😂😂it was hilarious. Much love and thank you for sharing 🖤❤️💚🇦🇫
Davud, you keep everyone's heart with your sweet smile

Hidden beautiful aspect of Afghanistan 🇦🇫 god bless Afghanistan
Wow SubhanAlla this lake is incredible very beautiful colour 💙💙
As salaam Alaikum Davud...
Afghanistan 🇦🇫 is beautiful...Allah's blessings...that lake is majestic..
No pollution how beautiful! 😊
Afghanistan looks beautiful from the scenery.
Davud, you have such a nice calming aura about you. I really enjoy watching your tours,
seeing the top view of the lake is surreal, i cant imagine how it feels being there!
When I think of Afghanistan I imagine dry, flat, brown, dusty, with few hills and such, riddled with war and in-fighting.
What a suprprise to see such a beautiful place!
Before entering, there must be an office to pay tourists at a higher price and for Afghans at a lower price, in order to create job opportunities, inspect the place, and increase its beauty. planting fruites trees adding fishes....
The water is Su very clear awesome davud
Wow incredible county ......! Thanks a lot 👍 brother 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🙂
watching from phillipines ❤ Stay safe always
Noor you r really amazing. U r also one of the key factor to the Davud 's amazing videos. Thanks for showing ur beautiful Afghanistan. Love you brother from Nepal. 🇳🇵🇳🇵🙏🙏😍😍
