Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar Province in eastern Afghanistan, served as the winter capital of the Durrani Empire under Timur Shah and carries a long cultural significance in Afghan poetry. Situated at the junction of the Kabul River and the Kunar River, south of the Hindu Kush mountains, the city is a major trade hub linked to the Torkham border crossing with Pakistan. Its bazaars and industrial parks centre on agricultural products including dried fruits, olives, oranges, and sugarcane.
