Last update: 3 hours agoAfghanistan Travel & Tourism: Currency & border travel: Da Afghanistan Bank has banned the entry of Iranian toman and Pakistani rupee into Afghanistan, urging traders, money exchangers, transport companies, and travelers to use the afghani instead—an effort aimed at stabilizing the currency and tightening cross-border trade.

Culture & heritage for visitors: The Afghan Cassette Archive project is digitizing threatened music tapes smuggled out of Afghanistan, preserving a rare slice of cultural history for diaspora and future travelers. Regional links: Central Asia ties with Taliban-ruled Afghanistan keep deepening, with new consultative dialogue formats and think-tank meetings in Kabul and Tashkent that may shape future travel, trade, and transit routes.
