Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring some loose fitting and covering clothes if you don't want to buy the traditional Shalwar kameez (for men), long blouse, skirt (or wide dress) and scarf (for women). There are no good ladies shoes in Kabul. Just high heel party shoes and very simple plastic slippers.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Everything possible to buy in Kabul. Some places sell fake medicine though. It's better to buy Iranian drugs and not Pakistani.

Photo Equipment: Film not necessary to bring.

Miscellaneous: Most things are possible to buy in Kabul.
