Holidays during Eid al-Adha have provided tourism opportunities for many citizens of the country.

A number of citizens who have come to recreational places in Bamyan province said that visiting these green places gives them peace.

Qazian Valley is one of the green places full of natural beauty, which is located about 20 kilometers north of the center of Bamiyan. After Band-e-Amir National Park, this place has become one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in recent years.

Seyed Kefil Mousavi, a tourist, said: “We took advantage of the holidays and came to have fun with our friends. It’s very pleasant here and I had a lot of fun today.”

Naeem Azimi, another tourist, said: “We came to Bamiyan one day before Eid. This province is really beautiful and every corner has its own beauty. “Band-e-Amir, Dara e Ajdahar, Qazian have beautiful weather everywhere.”

Another tourist, Yaser, said: “Today we came from Kabul to Qazian Fuladi valley. It’s really fun here.”

Some people said they are satisfied with the security provided in Bamyan and on the routes to reach this province, and they asked the authorities to provide more facilities in the recreational places of Bamiyan.

Seyed Israr said: “Parks should be created and (playgrounds) should be provided in recreational places, because the place is great and people enjoy it more.”

Ali Hossein, another tourist, added: “The government prepared to provide security, and we came to Bamiyan without any security problems.”

The local officials of Bamyan said that they have increased security measures to ensure the safety of visitors.

Abdullah Sarhadi, the governor of Bamyan, stated: “All security forces are responsible for providing security, and there are checkpoints everywhere, and people’s safety is ensured.”

With the provision of security in the last two years in Afghanistan, the tourism industry has increased unprecedentedly and citizens try to spend their holidays with family members and friends in recreational and green places in different provinces.

The Kapisa Directorate of Information and Culture announced that before the first three months of this year, more than 20,000 tourists have visited the recreational areas of this province.

According to the directorate, the Ministry of Information and Culture also initiated the construction of a standard hotel to provide facilities for tourists.

Nasratullah Nasrat, head of culture and tourism at the Kapisa Directorate of Information and Culture, said: “We proposed to the ministry to have a standard hotel or at least a place for accommodation so that when tourists come, they can leave their luggage and move towards any district they wish to visit.”

Some visitors say that Kapisa has many recreational spots and that the caretaker government officials should provide more facilities for the people.

Muzaffar, a resident of Mazar-i-Sharif, said: “Indeed, the north has very beautiful places. We came, we saw, and we enjoyed the Reqrawan and Sayed.”

Abdullah Faramarz, a resident of Bamyan, said: “We came with friends; it was truly an excellent place. We enjoyed it.”

Kapisa is a scenic province adjacent to Kabul and attracts a high number of visitors from across the country in the spring season.

Navidullah, a resident of Parwan, said: “In my view, the Reqrawan (flowing sand) of Kapisa is very beautiful and attracts everyone’s attention. It is truly a sight to behold.” Abdullah Faramarz, a resident of Bamyan, said: “We came with friends; it was truly an excellent place. We enjoyed it.” According to officials, Sayad National Park, Reqrawan (the flowing sand), and the scenic areas in Tagab district are among the places most visited by tourists.—Tolonews
