Mazar-e Sharif attractions
In the way of sights Mazar has little to offer the visitor other than the Blue Mosque - although some of the modern monuments built atop traffic circles are worth a photo.
Shrine of Hazrat Ali (the Blue Mosque) marks the burial site of Ali bin Talib, the Prophet Mohammad's cousin and the fourth caliph of Islam. At night the mosque is lit by coloured lights. However, due to many homeless sleeping in the surrounding park, it is not advisable to walk around at this time.
Ancient Greek relics.
Day trip to Balkh, (30 minutes by taxi). If you are in Mazar it is well worth the effort to go to Balkh - there is a good tarred road and the area is considered safe. Best to put aside half a day and make sure you get back to Mazar before sunset. �
Mazar is surrounded by beautiful Mountains on two sides.
