Khost is the capital of Khost Province in the eastern province of Afghanistan, adjacent to the Pakistan border, and is one of the major transportation hubs between Afghanistan and South Asia. The city is centered on the Pashtun culture, and the local population is mostly engaged in farming and herding, with fruits (e.g., pomegranates, grapes) and handicrafts as its characteristic products.
