Kabul is the administrative and political centre of Afghanistan, located at 1,791 metres above sea level in a long, narrow valley between the Hindu Kush Mountains and extending along the Kabul River. Kabul's main products include fruits and nuts, Afghan carpets, leather and sheepskin products, local clothing and furniture, and copies of ancient products. The 1978–2001 wars disrupted this industry and caused significant damage to the economy. All ethnic groups and nationalities live together in Kabul. Kabul's climate is mild and mountainous.
