Zaranj
7.8
Lower score (below 6)
Zaranj is the provincial capital but don't let that fool you — it's a dusty, underdeveloped town with zero infrastructure for foreigners and heavy Taliban administration. The women here are almost entirely cloistered, and a foreign man would be viewed with immediate suspicion in a society dominated by conservative merchants and former mujahideen families. Power cuts are routine, internet is unreliable, and the nearest functioning city (Herat) is 400km away through roads that aren't safe.
