Most people in Peshawar, a frontier town that traces its origins back
20,000 years, live in clusters of two- or three-room houses made of clay
or mud bricks. Strategically located on a broad plain surrounded by arid
mountains, Peshawar guards the east end of the Khyber Pass on Pakistan’s
border with Afghanistan. At this important crossroads, Afghan traders,
tribespeople, and arms smugglers mingle in the marketplace.
