From women who work at re-opened museums to hunky gym
rats who worship Arnold Schwarzenegger, Afghanistan has
changed in the 2 years since the ouster of the Taliban. A
lot more work needs to be done, but new buildings rise from
the rubble to punctuate the Kabul skyline, archeological
initiatives are helping tourism, and wheelchair programs
are giving mine victims a new chance in life. See the
Afghanistan you never read about in the papers.

We looked at what there is to see as a tourist in Kabul
and also touch on travel to other Islamic hotspots like
Jordan, Turkey and Morocco.
