7 Days in the Most Dangerous Country in the World 🇦🇫

Afghanistan is not a country that is easily broken. No matter what death or destruction has happened in this country, life perseveres, and it's a testament to the spirit of the Afghan people. The narratives of good and evil don't always neatly fit over any country, let alone one as complex as Afghanistan.
But it’s the resilience and the warmth of the people that have left the deepest impression.
This journey has reminded me that Afghanistan is more than just headlines; it's a land of contradictions, rich history, and incredible people. It's a place where hope survives, and life goes on, no matter the odds. This country is safe to travel to if you follow the rules and have the correct guides.

What an incredible video man. The story telling, your experience and the hospitality of the Afghan people is out of this world. I’ll have to visit some day soon 🙏

[Silver_Kurt]

I am an afghan, if any afghan has done wrong with you, misbehaved with you. I apologise. We have spent 40 years in wars and that war make us more tough from inside and outside but still there's some humble Afghans too.🇦🇫❤️ Thanks for visiting.

This video truly captures the beauty of cross-cultural experiences and the power of embracing diversity. It's incredible to see this young boy's journey to Afghanistan, immersing himself in the local culture, and learning firsthand about a country so often misunderstood. It's heartwarming to witness the genuine connections he formed with the locals and how warmly they welcomed him. This video serves as a beautiful reminder that despite our differences, there is always room for understanding, respect, and unity. Thank you for sharing this inspiring story!

I respect the Afghan people very much. Everyone I met from Afghanistan was a very good person. Greetings from Kyrgyzstan, my brothers.

As an afghan living in the US being away from homeland and parents, this video made me emotional. Thank you for your honesty and for showing the real Afghanistan

Great love and respect from Morocco for Afghanistan🇲🇦❤🇦🇫

I am an Afghan. Harry, I really got happy that you came to our country and wanted to show the world what real Afghanistan is . And, I really apologize on behalf of those few fools that told you something abusive. I wish you were with me for those 7 days. I believe that you really would have enjoyed traveling all around the country. I would have been your translator and showed you what the real Afghanistan is.
Thank you very much for coming. ❤

[poet.alhashimi]

I'm impressed by how well you pronounced "Assalam Alaykum." Great video. Pashtuns are famed for their hospitality.

[muza]

As an Afghan, this makes me so happy . Thank you for changing the negative narrative and stereotypes people automatically have about Afghanistan without even knowing nothing about the country!❤️

28:24 as a Muslim the way you put that part together was beautiful. The respect you have for cultures and religions is what’s going to change the world one day for the better. Just think about it every single person that follows you you open their mind to something different. You have no idea the impact you are making in life.

[TheBlueGrinchofSurgery]

Im an Indian muslim and even I can't believe how different Afghanistan is. Thank you Harry for checking out Afghanistan and contributing to the children. You have no idea how happy it made me feel after seeing you learning Persian, Dari, Pashto, Arabic and Urdu. Even though you didn't learn the languages fully, Im still grateful and happy for you trying to learn them and trying to communicate to the Afghani people.

Glad to see you enjoy Afghanistan! If anyone there treated you badly because of your religion, don't worry. Those types of people do not represent Islam. Especially the dude who refused to shake your hand. All who were hospitable and helpful to you truly represent our religion, for it is all about providing and helping others, regardless of their religion or ethnicity.

Also, even I get uncomfortable at seeing a goat be butchered. I just don't have the stomach for it lol.

Again Harry, thank you so much for proving that the government and the people are not at all the same.

[Matt_DC]

Thankyou for showing us a beautiful people of Afghanistan. Im happy to see your safe and the people there are safe.

[AdamH-tsqb]

Harry, I just want to point out that when the one taliban said he doesn't want to shake your hand because you're not muslim, all the other taliban around him were telling him "his religion is his personal choice" and "so what if he's not muslim he's a human".

[pangkayortega]

Despite of what the Americans with the support of the British did to Afghanistan, this video shows that the Afghan people are not bitter. The fact that you were able to film in the streets & even talk to some Taliban soldiers show that the Taliban are not hostile to non Muslims specially to the people who made lots of destruction in their country. Thanks for showing this video.

[eddiedx]

I really enjoyed this video, thank you for showing us how afghan people are friendly and nice ❤ massive respect & love for you and afghans from algeria 🇩🇿

I was deployed to Afghanistan for 6 months. The Afghan people I met on base were nice people. One of my fondest memories was going to the perimeter fence and passing candy, chocolate, and some small toys through the fence to the children. The excitement and smiles of the children will never be forgotten, it's what made the whole trip a worthwhile experience.

[hussaingawhari]

As an Afghan, This is the best video I have ever seen about Afghanistan!
He shows the true face of Afghanistan.
Thanks, Mr Harry
Love from Afghanistan

[murtazajunior]

As an Afghan living in in Afghanistan, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing my hometown opposite of how the western media usually do. I wish you all the best ahead. Respect❤

[AhmedUllah-lrzh]

Dear Harry, thank you for visiting Afghanistan. I always watch your videos. I am so ashamed of some people in Afghanistan. The one who did not give u his hand actually is an ignorant who doesn't know about the teachings of Islam. There are a lot of problems in this country, but still it's amazing, it's lovely, I miss it, its soil and wind. Have a nice journey
