Kandahar

Kandahar, often referred to as the birthplace of modern Afghanistan, was founded by Alexander the Great and later became the capital of Ahmad Shah Durrani’s empire in the 18th century. The city is a hub of Pashtun culture and history, with its bustling bazaars, ancient fortresses, and sacred sites. One of its most revered landmarks is the Tomb of Emperor Ahmad Shah Durrani, the founding father of Afghanistan, where visitors can witness the resting place of a leader who shaped the nation’s history.
