You CAN'T Pay At This Street Vendor - My Last Day In Afghanistan, Kunduz 🇦🇫
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ต.ค. 2023
- Although I approached this journey with considerable hesitancy and carried a weight of worries and risks upon arriving in Afghanistan, it quickly became evident that the country's people made my experience significantly smoother from day one.
Having traveled extensively throughout South Asian countries, I was no stranger to the renowned hospitality in the region. However, my arrival in Afghanistan was particularly remarkable given the nation's prolonged history of conflict and the near absence of tourism.
Much like my experiences in Iran, I found that I blended in seamlessly with the local population in Afghanistan, both in terms of appearance and attire, initially avoiding the "foreigner" treatment. This remained the case until I took up my camera and spoke English. Those who have watched my TH-cam videos from Afghanistan are already familiar with the warmth and generosity of the people, who often insisted on covering the cost of meals and extended invitations to their homes for lunch or dinner.
No matter where you travel in the World, you understand that there are always beautiful souls adorned with the most heartwarming smiles and an innate sense of hospitality, even if they have endured the harshest circumstances for years. It dawns on you that a simple snack can bring a smile to any child's face. You recognize that all humans, regardless of their background, share common aspirations: food, family, security, happiness, and a connection to something greater, whether a divine presence or a higher purpose.
I extend my heartfelt love and appreciation to every individual I encountered during my time in Afghanistan, including the shop owners, drivers, my guide, and the countless ordinary people who crossed my path throughout my journey. ❤️
Please note: This is not intended as a travel advisory. Afghanistan currently has a government that remains unrecognized by any nation, resulting in the absence of embassies and international diplomatic relations. I am an experienced traveler who explored the country in the company of a reputable guide.

My guide Noor started his own TH-cam journey which you can follow along: youtube.com/@NoorAhmadAnsari1234?si=FN9DUj4cV9nkh4Vj
Thanks a lot my best brother.
U really made me feel proud and really enjoyed those days with you that I barely can say now that I have missed you al ot.
Hope we can see together an other time in Afghanistan.
Thank you Davud for you sharing your travel, it did a lot for me because I really want to visit central asia, in fact I just bought a flight for Uzbekistan. Davide from Italy
Your visit to Afghanistan was very pleasant. I am from Pakistan and Noor Bhai is a good person. I will wait for the next video. May God bless you. Ameen
@@emiphotographyfilm8484 Thanks my brother.
Thanks for visiting Afghanistan 🇦🇫❤❤❤❤❤
That kid working in such a little age and then refusing the money for hospitality and calling him guest is amazing.
💯
Respect all Afgani brothers and sisters from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿🇦🇫🥰
thanks
from Afghanistan
Love our Azerbaijan brothers and sister also.
My father’s family left Afghanistan in the 80s, traveling to Iran, to Pakistan, then finally to the US. I hope to visit Afghanistan one day, when it is safe for me to do so. Your videos made me miss a place Ive never been. Thank you.
I have similar history as you. I was less than 2 when we left. But now I have this love for my home country. I want to visit one day inshallah. I will try to find Noor to show me around.
Your guide was one of TH-cams coolest for sure. I loved his style and choice with clothing colors. You got the full experience.
True, Noor is super cool and very attentive! 🙏🏽
@@Davud_Akh its kind of my brother.
U really did great to me.
If I go to Afghanistan I want noor to be my guide ! I'm from America ...I'm Mexican American
@@user-uh3ns3ve2n
It is a pleasure to be with you.
Coolest guide ever ❤. Job welldone Noor. Was enjoying your joyful personality. Subscribed your channel too
I am not crying because you are leaving from Afghanistan but because of that we say good bye to Nor . Nor is no longer our guide but one of us , like our brother . A very gentleman , respectful, shy, polite . Really I can't find a single word that can describe enough the personality of Nor . I wish we shall reunite again.
I love Afghanistan.
Thanks bro.
It's kind of you
@@Noorahmadansari1234 as salamu aleikum Noor. From all these videos that i saw, for me, you seemed like a very genuine good, hospitable and professional. Because of you and Davud, i want to visit your country and ESPECIALLY, with you as a guide. That would be an honor !
Wish you only the best in the future. Tashakur.
@@parubok90 always welcome bro
@@Noorahmadansari1234hi noor....
@@xzbitrox709 hi bro
The 15 year old little chef is really wonderful, he cooked for you everything whatever you had demanded. Brought the egg and roti from another shop and refused to take money from you. You know he served you more than he has on his restaurant. I have been in Afghanistan for more than 2 years but never been outside of base camp. I miss the milk which comes from colorful flowers and wonder you never spoken about it 😂😂😂. Afghanistan is wonderful.
I watched all of your videos on this tour, but I didn't comment until the end. I think it's the right time to post a comment. Simply, you have helped us to forget the horrible image that Western media has in our mind regarding Afghanistan. The way you deal with people in particular is very impressive and I think you and I were lucky to have the support of your guider and we were able to see so much. I think of your guide as someone who could represent the kindness of the Afghan people themselves. Good luck 😃 Love from Srilanka
Thank you very much for watching, enjoying and supporting! ❤️
@@Davud_Akhkardes rehberinizin hizmetinden yararlanmak istersem oraya gelince günlük ücreti ne kadar?
Thanks a lot for watching.
I only did my duty with my kind brother Davoud.
You and Noor have single handedly turned the image of Afghanistan and the people on its head contrary to what the media tells us. Such loving people Afghanis are. Lots of love from 🇦🇺
Thanks bro
@@Noorahmadansari1234you the man bro, respect from germany 💯

Thanks brother.
Your guide was a lovely man and I wish him congratulations and happiness on his up and coming marriage. Great video series of Afghanistan 🇦🇫...Thank You 🙏 ❤️
Thank you
The sadness in your guide Nour's eyes made my eyes water. You made a beautiful friendship with someone of a different faith, culture and language. This is my favourite series yet. It was nice to see you with travel companions.Thank you Davud for showing us another side of this resilient country and its people. I hope they are left alone to live their lives as they see fit. I hope you return again and I am looking forward to Nour's wedding. That would be great content! Khuda hafiz. Stay safe on your travels bro! Would be lovely to see your homeland inshAllah!
Oh thanks bro
I loved this series and your guide Noor. I worked in Afghanistan for 9 years but never had such interactions. Was really awesome to see your experience!
Thanks bro
This Afghan guy is among the coolest & most decent guides you’ve ever met during your travels in various countries!! Hats off to him!
Thanks bro
@@Noorahmadansari1234 You deserve me to be your subscriber, and I just did it!
@@sajib333thanks brother
I am so so happy to watch your video about Afghanistan Davud together with your wonderful guide, Noor. You have showcased the wonderful side of Afghanistan especially the people, Afghanis. It’s about time that you have peace and love ❤️ in your amazing country! You deserve it. This is coming from a guy from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Thanks bro
Thanks brother to visit our beloved country and thanks for showing the world that Afghan soil is full of peace and hospitality . Jakazkullah khier.
Afghanistan hospitality is
great. Noor who is your helper is pleasent and kind. Davud is amazing human being . BYE Noor ...
Thanks brother.
You proved the people in Afghanistan are good kind people! 🇲🇽🇺🇸
Ok Davud, so I just finished all your Afghan travel series, and I must say, it was really enjoyable watching you travel thhere with an open mind. I've watched other travellers, but your coverage has its own flavour, its filled with warmth and a willingness to learn rather than pass judgements. Above all, you have been extraordinarily generous with the locals, maybe because it's your Azerbaijani culture that is common with Afghans (for example, when people refuse to take money, you still give it to them knowing that they are just being polite, or that you leave tip to the needy without any expectation). It's been really a human experience, thanks for taking us along with you!
Brother Davud thank you for visiting Afghanistan and respecting and understanding people of Afghanistan hospitality I have watched all your videos keep up your good work and wish you safe traveling around the world as for your Afghan interpreter he is a very kind and professional person and did very good job. Long live to people of Afghanistan we suffered for too long and hope better days come for All Afghans.
Thanks brother
Salam bro, thank you so much for visiting our country, as you know it’s been a war for over 40 years and they have great hospitality. So thanks million bro.. your being so nice and kind, May Allah swt give you ajar. Do visit again inshAlllah. Thumbs up bro ❤
A big salute to Noor. He’s been a best guide who has taken maximum measures in ensuring your safety throughout your journey 🙏🙏🙏
I watched whole Afghanistan series . Guide wonderful man 😊
Thanks bro
Davud I have absolutely loved your videos in Afghanistan. Please visit it again in the future so we can enjoy witnessing our beautiful country. Your commentary and interactions with the locals is brilliant!
This guide is a very awesome person, very cool and quick to answer, and explained things very beautifully.
I watched all of your Afghanistan series from the beginning until the end. I wish you success, Brother Davud. I hope you had such a wonderful experience in Afghanistan, btw Noor is my best friend, and we were classmates in high school. He is such a wonderful guy, and I would like to thank him for hosting you in such a beautiful way.
Oh thanks bro.
It was my duty.
Davud Jaan - I watched every one of your afghanistan videos and really enjoyed them. Bravo! -Houman
Your whole Afgani guide was awesome, showed the real Afganistan
W💚💚KUNDUZ💚💚W
The people of Kunduz have big heart and famous for their hospitality in all of Afghanistan🇦🇫
@Davut , you became my favorite. Thank you for showing the real Afghanistan to the world
Unfortunately, I'm disabled in a wheelchair (been all my life, so no big deal), so it's VERY cool to see places I wouldn't be able to move around in. Afghanistan seems amazing. Great people and great hospitality. Us Americans, usually see the way people look at you, the camera, etc., and would assume the people are angry, disapproving and so on. All it is, is cultural differences. Everyone is human and no matter what language you speak, a handshake and a hug will always mean the same thing. Thank you for sharing your journey.
hi
if u really wana visit afghanistan i am here to help you from my heart ❤
Your guide should start his own channel, wonderful man
He does have one check: ”Noor Ahmad Ansaris Adventures”
to my fellow Muslims in Afghanistan I am a Muslim teenager from Bali, Indonesia and still learning about Islam keep the spirit and greetings of peace and love I used to have a good friend when I was little, his name was Mehmed, his face was unique like Asia but he had blue eyes and golden brown hair. But he still remembers me and he is already Australian. From him I can read the Koran and short letters from the Koran.
ماشاءاللہ just 15 and already so mature in hospitality and his skillwork
Lots of love to my country people and to you Davud. I watched all of your Afghanistan videos. Greeting from Germany
Dear David my wife and I LOVE your videos. Thanks for showing such wonderful countries and beautiful people.❤❤❤❤❤ We are in Australia.
Your afghan friend is very good thank you Mr davud for your showing. Amazing your afghan tour
Thanks bro
thank you davvud afghanistan has taught me many things like food culture in cities and many things about the people of afghanistan
A few years ago I used to hear only about wars in Afghanistan but today we learn something different and you can walk in peace without guards.
Greetings from your brother from Mogadishu Somalia🇦🇫🇸🇴
Your last day but not your last time, InshaAllah see you again in my beautiful country ❤
Amazingly, Afghans, even at a young age, are not greedy, they even refuse tips
I binged all your Afghanistan videos in a day. I am obsessed with places I cannot go and as a westerner and someone who most definitely would not be invited to the country, this is a real treat. Please keep going, you are an excellent guide ✌👍
You are invited bro.
Don't worry
Salam as an Afghan living in west i always watch your video thanks for helping my pepole
What an experience. I feel like I have been there myself. And im all the way in Montana U.S.A. Love your videos Brother.

May Allah grant you a righteous spouse and bless your marriage.
Thank you Davud I have thoroughly enjoyed all the content from your Afghanistan series and will miss the place probably as much as you will.
The people are so hospitable and generally warm and friendly.
You were respectful to the Afghani people and you were treated accordingly.
The final goodbye to the young man who cooked breakfast was a moving moment for me.
safe travels from Sydney, Australia.
Quite joyful was your Afghanistan Tour, Once again, thank you for your time and visiting Afghanistan. I hope to see you back in Afghanistan. You're just a wonderful guy. Thank you.🎉

Thanks bro
Absolutely loved the series brother sad to see it end 🙏🏻
Your guide is really such a good person I don't know how to describe his personality but he seemed to have one of thr best
From what I saw from other channels as well Afghans are friendlier than Europeans in many countries. They are happier and more helpful. And the food looked interesting. And the fruit looks amazing too.
Thank you for the clip that brings the world closer to Afghanistan and the Afghan people.
Please come back and visit here again. Especially your lovely guide's wedding ceremony!!
That I would see how they make and prepare this.
Thank u brother.

I've been watching your videos for the last one year. Like other series, this Afghanistan series was also a good one. As a neighbor to Afghanistan, I didn't really have much of an idea what Afghanistan really looked like. But now I saw it through your videos. Big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍
Loved your Afghan series. Enjoyed your adventures and perspective. Hope you will be able to return and visit Afghanistan again soon.
Such a beautiful soul you are , more power to you brother. It’s hard to find a good person in today’s time, you truly are a gem of a person.
I am going to miss Noor. What an amazing guide. Loved the series! Amazing country and the hospitality was crazy. So many people refusing to offer you a price. Much love for the people!
Thank bro
I love your content, especially these past videos on Afghanistan. I feel it extremely important that people across the world, especially here in the US, get a genuine look into a beautiful country with the people to match. Most people just see what the media shows them and it's shameful. Thanks again.
MaShaAllah your guide who fears Allah in his dealings with is sign of a great person...👍🏼
Thanks Allah
Thank you Davud.
I always enjoy your video. You are good man. I am very glad for watching your video. I hope for you success. I sure, you are success man.
