Stay Safe

Kandahar is regarded as one of the safer destinations in Southern Afghanistan. Its remoteness and the largely Pashtun population have kept it distant from most of the fighting. After 2013, it became safe, because the family of Mullah Omar (Taliban's first leader and founder of Taliban) came to Kandahar and became Afghan citizens. Out of respect for them and the Taliban has been stopped by their leaders from conducting terrorism in Kandahar.
