Afghanistan, our expertise

In and out of Afghanistan since 2020

Our passionate team has built a genuine, in-depth understanding of Afghanistan through years of first-hand experience in:

Academic researchJournalismHumanitarian assistance

Our French team was in Kabul during the Taliban takeover of August 2021, and returned just three months later, undeterred. As peace and stability gradually settled, we joined forces in 2023 with passionate Afghan guides to create Unique Afghanistan, the agency behind Other Skies and the leading French agency offering genuine journeys into Afghanistan.

Today, we are dedicated to showing you a new side of Afghanistan: its timeless landscapes, deep culture and extraordinary stories.
