Arriving in Afghanistan (Kabul)

[@AleSalvino]

👋 Hey friends! It's crazy to be exploring Kabul as the first episode of this new series. We'll be travelling in many other regions in *Afghanistan* . Hopefully you enjoy all the upcoming episodes!

[@rafffiqkhaaan1590]

Want more vedio about Afghanistan sir ❤

[@davoodrezaie7429]

Willkommen to my country bru ❤

[@ghafourbalouch9717]

In 1960and 1970 was hippy spat. They come here to smoke 🚬 hsish and opium. Peace full.

[@MercyofAllah-l6v]

My dear brother, Taliban are the smartest and most understanding people in the world, if you have permission to film, no one can stop you or say anything bad to you.

[@MercyofAllah-l6v]

If I were here , I would show you all of Afghanistan

[@parwizsamadi1102]

I appreciate your perspective. While experiences can vary, it's worth noting that many visitors find Kabul to be open and welcoming. In my own visits, I haven't encountered filming restrictions, and locals generally appreciate tourists exploring and capturing the beauty of the city. The vibrant markets you mentioned are part of the rich cultural tapestry, and while some shopkeepers may approach you, it's often a friendly gesture rather than a restriction. It's also worth highlighting the historical sites like the Babur Gardens and the National Museum, which showcase the city's rich heritage. Despite challenges, Kabul's resilience and warmth can leave a lasting positive impression on visitors.

[@AleSalvino]

Indeed. In my case I found Kabul a bit more challenging to film but other regions are certainly a bit easier with a professional camera. I enjoyed those markets and people were generally friendly and curious about someone coming from abroad. Babur Gardens was fascinating, that view! Anyway, thanks for watching and more videos are coming up 🙏

Hello from iraqi kurdistan, seriously you are such brave and amazing content creator. This video was stunning, i loved very much indeed, but i am just wondering why you dont have a guide with u ? Cuz in a place like this we all need someone to help us and take care of us, plus let us know that what to do and what not to do! BEST OF LUCK MY FRIEND, and i hope to see u one day in my country.

[@AleSalvino]

Hey! Thanks a lot and glad you liked the video! I had a local fixer to help with the logistics for driving to different places and some translations 🙏 Hope in the future I can visit Iraqi Kurdistan!

[@klwthe3rd]

I've been waiting for Ale to go to Afghanistan!!! I mean after Yemen, what would be a better war torn nation that. What i like most about Ale's videos are that he takes time to talk to the locals. We don't just get his perspective but those from the actual people who live there. To me that's the real value when traveling. Also, he puts the names of all the places/streets on the screen so i can use them as references if i decide to travel there. Hes always thinking about his audience/viewers so i really appreciate that. What i hope to see in this series is what ALL OTHER youtubers don't do while in Afghanistan - talk and interview the women. Ale always delivers in his content and i'm never disappointed. I hope this series is no different!

[@AleSalvino]

Thank you very much and welcome to the beginning of the series! I have something in mind for the end of the series but let's see how it goes, there might be something around those lines you described. 🙏🏼

[@rahimwardak2370]

Hey Ale first of all welcome to our country Afghanistan . I hope u had a nice journey in the country I have a tip for you, you don’t need to think twice about your recording you can do record all the time except when a lady come to the frame rest you’re allowed to film it’s completely okay and there is no prohibition for that. Keep it up thank you for showing the real face of our country to the world Enjoy your moments ,peace out .

[@AleSalvino]

Thanks for the tips and welcome to the channel! I think in Kabul was a bit more “uncommon” based on people’s reactions but in other regions looks fine 🙏🏼

[@habibinourainalisyaki5094]

I went to 12 priobineves including Bamyan Mazar Shariff , Jalalabad ,kunar and so many places next year we want to go to Nuristan ,Ghazni and kost

[@tonyg3693]

Gracias, Ale! Qué lugar espectacular. Hace un tiempo que vengo viendo videos de Afganistan. Me encantaría ir en algún momento. Y, después de ver tus videos, le agrego Irak!! Por lo que ví la única conexión directa es con Dubai, osea que hay que conseguir vuelo hasta ahí... O se puede conseguir el paquete entero desde México o BsAs? Te mando un abrazo desde Montevideo!

[@AleSalvino]

Hola Tony - por ahora la conexión es desde Dubai con Kam Air (tienen vuelos diarios a Kabul desde Dubai o desde Islamabad en Pakistan). También hay vuelos desde Tehran, Estanbul y Dushanbe (Tajikistan) pero no hay nada desde México/BsAs. La mejor manera desde Latinoamérica sería de llegar a Europa y desde ahí vuelo directo a Dubai. Cuando lo hagas si te da el tiempo sería bueno que hagas algún otro viaje también desde Dubai porque las conexiones desde ahí son muy buenas para otros países de la zona! En general cuando voy a países "difíciles" siempre salgo de Dubai, Estanbul, Casablanca o Cairo, están bien conectados para Medio Oriente y Africa. Un abrazo! 🙏🏼

[@tewesk]

@@tonyg3693 Hola, espero que pueda visitar a nuestro país lo más pronto posible. Ahora que la seguridad haya mejorado, muchos extranjeros ya visitan Afganistán. Si vas como KZbinr, entonces, le recomiendo que hables con una mujer escocesa llamada Emma ( Wondering Emma) quién ha visitado Afganistán varias veces, y se queda por mucho tiempo alli.Si vas como turista mejor que viajes con un tour. Sé que hay una agencia en Inglaterra que hace viajes en grupo, una desde Italia. De momento no tengo los detalles.

[@tonyg3693]

@@tewesk Gracias, amigo! Ten en cuenta que estoy en Uruguay. Conozco los vídeos de Emma, por supuesto! Me alegra que estén volviendo a la tranquilidad y a la paz. Hay también una mexicana que está subiendo videos sobre Afganistán y al parecer en México se arman grupos para ir. Un abrazo grande!

[@fahadalfaqih6645]

I have seen many clips on KZbin where people and tourists film easily and without any problem or hassles but I think you need permission from one of the ministries there.

[@AleSalvino]

It's easier in other areas of Afghanistan to film, just in Kabul a bit more complicated.

[@najibullahnazari123]

Hi,that’s great u are in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 Why don’t u get permission letter from the government and then u can film any where or any time in Kabul,this is what all KZbiners do.don’t be secretive about your camera 🎥 in Kabul.they will not tell u no for filming.u can talk louder and laugh 😆 in Afghanistan 🇨🇦

Hello brother Be chill and stop anywhere you want use the word Salam alikom , learn basic how are you in dari “ khob aste “ in Pashto “ senga ey “. Try to show to people your foreigner you will be treated very well ❤️🙌. Afghans are shy people until you start to contact them and start to greet and joke then you are all set ❤️🙌. In regards to recording go for it as long as it is publicly allowed people don’t mind it, probably woman don’t like to be on social media just to keep in mind.

[@AleSalvino]

Hey Imran, thanks for the kind words, tips and welcome to the channel! I definitely experienced the kindness of people there, just a bit challenging some areas in Kabul to film what I wanted but as seeing other regions in Afghanistan, I can see it's not like that everywhere. An interesting series ahead! Again, thanks for being here and welcome! 🙌

[@mohammadkhan7895]

I think you were too cautious. Camera is not that an issue

[@Che18335]

I think why filming is more difficult with you is cause you look too local and people dont want to be filmed. Foreigners who are clearly not from the region are more forgiven because they dont know better. You just look like any Afghan who lived some time outside.

[@AleSalvino]

Haha maybe 🤪 This is what I tried to do with the longer beard and local clothing so I could blend in

Now I understand why the US pulled out. I guess they aren't stable enough to police their own areas, as giving them equipment to defend themselves would be much more beneficial to sell it and buy food. They need more time then normal to develop as they uphold traditions. Their merchandise seems too intricate and detailed to be profitable.

[@WazhmaKarimi-h2s]

It only took you three years "to understand" why US pulled out - not bad. However, based on your comment, you are still very much in the dark on the issue.
