UncategorizedThe Minar Jam is located in the Ghor Province, alongside the Harirud River— a river that originates from the central mountains of Afghanistan and flows towards Herat and Iran. This iconic minaret has been named after the region (Jam). Rising to a height of 65 meters, the Minaret of Jam is a stunning architectural feat.
