Afghanistan’s Bamiyan restores heritage sites to draw foreign visitors

Summary

Restoration work is under way at heritage sites in central Afghanistan’s Bamiyan province, where ancient cave dwellings and the ruins of Shahr-e Gholghola face increasingly severe storm damage. Officials say more than half a million tourists, mostly Afghans, visited Bamiyan in the past six months, a 50 percent increase from a year earlier. However, overseas visitors remain relatively few, with decades of conflict and Afghanistan’s international isolation deterring many foreign travellers. Al Jazeera's Rob McBride reports.
