Understand

The Taliban, former rulers of Afghanistan, had their capital in Kandahar and the population of area is mainly Pushtu speakers, the ethnic group that dominated in Taliban. There are still some strongly conservative people in the city, although the exposure to external media is countering this among most of the population.

Get in

By plane

Flights are available from the UN but are only open to UN staff and other approved organisations.

By car

A good road links Kandahar to Kabul. However, passing through Zabol is not safe. The road from Herat is also being improved, again it is very dangerous where it passes through Helmand and Farah. A road also runs South East via Spin Buldak to Quetta in Pakistan, also very dangerous.

Stay safe

Kandahar is not a place for tourists. If you must visit (usually this will be working for an NGO) follow the security advice and keep a low profile. Suicide bombers are likely to be looking for soft targets.
