Ancient Balkh tour packages visit the ruins of Bactra, often called the mother of cities, which was an important capital of Bactria and later a Buddhist and Islamic centre. Mud-brick walls, the Green Mosque with its blue dome and the shrine of Khwaja Abu Nasr Parsa stand among the remains. Balkh is also associated with the poet Rumi, born here in 1207. The site is quiet and atmospheric, best seen with a guide who knows the history.
