Cost of living in Afghanistan - 2017

Hello
Rent of apartment starts from 150$ to 700$ or more. With 300$ you will rent very nice furnished 2 rooms apartment. Houses also starts from 350-400$ and goes to 15-20 thousand USD per month. A normal house with 4 rooms, one or two bathrooms, kitchen and nice garden is 1000$ per month in average. From 2014 prices on rent, property going down and down. That is related to withdrawing International troops from Afghanistan.
There is no Underground, tram, public bus in Kabul. Some minibus and cost cost around half US Dollars. Taxi is not so expensive. Food is cheap in compare with Central Asian countries. Like 2 kg rice may cost 1$. Fruits and vegetables are very nice and natural and not expensive. Like very good apple cost 1$ per kilo. Meat costs 6$ per kilo.
Rice is traditional food in Afghanistan. You can have a lunch with less 2$ in a ordinary restaurants in a town and with 20$ in foreign restaurants.
Local clinics not good at all but there are many foreign clinics and they are cheaper than in Europe and not cheap for afghan people. There are German, French, Australian and American clinics in Kabul.
There is no cinemas in Kabul.
Petrol and diesel prices is changeable and is between 0.60-1$ per liter. Government schools are free and private schools not expensive.
Thank you!

Thanks Fozil.
The housing prices seem very expensive for a city like Kabul. But I understand that it is mostly because of the presence of foreign troops.

Hello,
Yes, prices in Kabul is not fare. Facility is not good. There were big construction within last 3-4 years and prices are cheaper now. Up to end 2013 the prices were much higher. Starting from 2014 International troops were significantly reduced and therefore now the prices are better.
Thank you!

Best regards
