What to pack for Kabul in the summer

It is recommended to pack lightweight, breathable clothing such as cotton or linen to stay cool and comfortable. Short-sleeved shirts, loose-fitting tops, and flowy pants or skirts are ideal for staying cool in the heat.

It is also important to pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the intense sun. Additionally, modest clothing is highly appreciated in Afghan culture, so wearing longer sleeves and pants or skirts that cover the knees is recommended.

Be prepared for cooler evenings by bringing a light sweater or shawl.
