Travel to Kandahar

Kandahar is the birthplace and first capital of modern Afghanistan. The city is capital in the province of Kandahār.

The city lies in the south of the country at about 1,000 metres above sea level. The Arghandab River runs along the west of the city and green gardens enhance the natural beauty of the city.

Founded by Ahmad Shah Durrani in 1747, is today the second largest city of Afghanistan, located on the Asian Highway halfway between Kabul and Herat.

The area is rich in ancient history. Here, Alexander the Great founded Alexandria of Arachosia and the region was repeatedly fought over by the Saffavids and Moghuls. It was the independent minded Afghan of Kandahar, first under the leadership of Mir Wais and then of Ahmad Shah Durrani, who hastened the decline of both empires and annexed much of their territories to the young Afghan Kingdom in the 18th Century.
