Frontiers Afghanistan Friendly, beautiful Afghanistan was once well known as the place to stop for unparalleled hospitality, fantastic food and great hiking. More than 20 years of war have had their impact; however the country is now struggling on the road to become again what it once was. Women are allowed to work again and many venture outside without their burqas. People are able to dance to music again and many of the fine monuments and minarets are being rebuilt. |

Afghanistan, (which literally means Land of the Afghan) is a mountainous
land-locked country located in Central Asia. It has a history and culture
that goes back over 5000 years. Throughout its long, splendid, and sometimes
chaotic history, this area of the world has been known by various names.
In ancient times, its inhabitants called the land Aryana. In the medieval
era, it was called Khorasan, and in modern times, its people have decided
to call it Afghanistan. The exact population of Afghanistan is unknown,
however, it is estimated to be somewhere around 31 million.
