Jalalabad

Jalalabad is the capital of Ningarhar province[?] in Afghanistan, 150 Km east of Kabul near the Kyhber Pass[?]. Its population is about 60,000.

Seraj-ul-Emart[?], the residence of Amir Habibullah[?] and King Amanullah was destroyed in 1929; the gardens however, retain vestiges of the past and offer a peaceful afternoon's stroll. The Mausoleum of both rulers is enclosed by a garden facing Seraj-ul-Emart.
