Kabul is the capital and largest city of Afghanistan. A crowded metropolis pressed into a basin of the Hindu Kush mountains, its bazaars, battle-scarred buildings and traffic-choked streets bear the traces of an ancient trading city, rapid urban expansion, periods of cosmopolitan ambition, and nearly half a century of war.
