Hairatan (Dari: حیرتان; Pashto: حیرتان; Uzbek Cyrillic: Ҳайратон, Uzbek Latin: Hayraton) is a border town in northern Balkh Province of Afghanistan.[1] The Hairatan dry port and border checkpoint is located in the eastern section of the town. It sits along the Amu River in the Kaldar District. The river forms the border with neighboring Uzbekistan, and the two nations are connected by the Afghanistan–Uzbekistan Friendship Bridge. The city of Termez in Uzbekistan is a short distance away to the northwest of Hairatan, on the other side of the Amu River.
Hairatan is one of the major transporting, shipping and receiving locations in Afghanistan.[2][3][4][5] It is also an official border crossing between the people of Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. Security in and around the town is provided by the Afghan National Security Forces. All foreign travelers must possess a valid travel visa to enter Afghanistan.[6][7] Citizens of Afghanistan could stay for up to 10 days in Termez without a visa.[8]
