Afghanistan Travel Brief

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 37 minutes ago

Pilgrimage Travel: Saudi Arabia’s one-year, multiple-entry Umrah visa is spurring bookings from Afghanistan. Kabul agents report strong interest from older pilgrims and young couples planning weddings in Mecca, despite round-trip fares rising to about $800. Overland Access: Afghanistan has opened the strategic Wakhan road to the Chinese border, but commercial travel is still awaiting Beijing’s approval. Heritage Tourism: Uzbekistan and UNESCO are supporting restoration and protection work at Afghanistan’s historic Minaret of Jam, helping preserve a landmark with potential to draw visitors.
