Minaret Of Jam



Have you ever heard of the wonders of Afghanistan? One of them is the minaret of Jam. Here is a glimpse of the prehistoric sites. Minaret of Jam was the first success of the UNESCO list of World Heritage in Afghanistan in 2002. It is a structure 65 meters high, which is bounded by mountains which 2.4 km is located near two rivers ie Hari Rud and Jam Rud river. The location of this elegant experience is visible in the western part of Afghanistan, which is the core of the province of Ghor.

The Islamic-inspired structural design consists of bricks with extensive cuts, calligraphy and passages nashki Quran, Islam Bible. For a brief history of where it was included in the Ghurid civilization and served as a "victory lap" of Islam, among others. The historic site will be appreciated by travelers, architects, artists, particularly photographers who have great admiration and affection for art, design and nature.

The construction is based on the present and is prone to natural disasters. Due to the proximity of the two rivers of the building, most likely flooding the storm in the area and the remains of this masterpiece in a blink of an eye. Earthquakes and unexpected dangers may affect the area. Although this risk has been controlled and continue the civilization did improbable events could still happen.

When you're in the minaret of Jam, I'm going to climb a narrow staircase in the shape of the DNA ladder, which is used to mount the tower to increase the dramatic effect and feel for the Exploration of the region. Upon reaching the top, we saw other wonders of Ghor province has to offer to tourists as the site of the mountains and rivers.

Now that you're fine, hurry and visit the place until I have time. Thirst for art and natural history is an exception, impressive, and worth a once in a unique experience to carry out immediately.
