Partly that's due to the peacefulness and startling beauty of the remote region, which is tucked away high in the Hindu Kush of Central Afghanistan, and partly because four years ago it became Afghanistan's first national park.

Egypt: Black market trade in dollars
An employee at a registered foreign exchange office in downtown Cairo stamps dollars for a client. Banks restrict the amount of dollars a client can purchase each month to $5,000. That limitation has increased the number of people who use the exchange houses or black market dealers to get dollars they need for purchases and travel, even though both the exchange houses and the black market charge a premium to exchange Egyptian pounds for dollars.
