Murad Khani is one of Kabul's oldest neighborhoods, known for its mud-brick houses, narrow alleys, and traditional Afghan courtyard homes. Once a thriving commercial and residential area, it fell into disrepair but is now undergoing restoration as a cultural heritage site. Visitors can walk through the winding streets, admire the intricately carved wooden doors and windows, and see ongoing preservation work. The area offers a peaceful contrast to the busy city, with small shops and tea houses adding to its charm.
