Leo, let's discuss accommodation in Afghanistan and Tajikistan. What are the options and what's the quality like?
In Afghanistan, I imagine accommodation is quite basic. More "rustic charm" than luxury.
Precisely. Expect guesthouses, perhaps smaller hotels in larger cities. "Quality" will likely prioritize safety and running water, not luxury amenities.
Running water is a luxury in itself! Tajikistan, however, might offer a slightly wider range of options.
Dushanbe, the capital, might have more standard hotels and apartments. Outside Dushanbe, guesthouses and homestays are more likely, even yurts.
Yurts sound adventurous! But for expats, pre-booking is advisable, especially if you have specific needs.
Definitely. For longer stays or rentals, the market is very different. Word-of-mouth and local listings will be key.
Forget online property portals; it's a completely different system. Finding comparable prices to Western rentals will be challenging.
So, in both countries, expect the unexpected. Embrace adventure, and perhaps pack earplugs! For more travel tips, visit jetoff.ai.
