Getting There

Taxi/Ride-Share
Taxis are readily available throughout Kabul and offer a direct way to reach Ghazi Stadium [2, 7, 11]. From most central locations, a taxi ride to the stadium will typically cost between 350 to 712 AFN, depending on distance and traffic conditions [4, 7]. It's advisable to negotiate the fare beforehand or ensure the meter is running [7]. Landmarks to mention for directions include Chaman-e-Hozori and Eidgah Mosque, as the stadium is located across from them [3, 7]. Note that traffic can be heavy, especially during peak hours [2, 7, 13].
-
Public Transport
