Shahr-e Naw

Shahr-e Naw (Pashto: شهر نو; Dari: شهرنو) is one of the affluent neighborhoods in Kabul, Afghanistan. It is a downtown commercial area housing most of the bigger buildings such as office centers, shopping centers, embassies, supermarkets, hotels, popular restaurants, banks, hospitals, mosques, and luxury apartments. To its west lies Karte Sakhi, and to its east is the affluent Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood. Its name in a general sense means New Town, which is taken as it was first built in the early 20th century as a 'new' urban extension north of the historic city of Kabul.
