Getting there & away
There should be a weekly flight to Kabul, provided Ariana wants to operate it – it was out of action when we asked around. The airport is 10km east of the city.
Minibuses to Mazar-e Sharif (100Afg, two hours) fill up quickly from a small terminal on the eastern edge of Shiberghan – look for the brick factories nearby. Transport to Aqcha (40Afg, 30 minutes) also leaves from here.
Andkhoi transport (70Afg, one hour) leaves from west of the square, past one of Dostum’s gauche terracotta-and-lobster-pink palaces.
