Khair Khāna (Persian: خير خانه) is a neighborhood in north west Kabul, Afghanistan, part of District 11.
It is predominantly a residential suburb about 6 km from central Kabul, with a boom of high rise constructions and modern apartments, as the area has seen major redevelopments.
Construction of Khair Khāna began during the late 1960s and early 1970s, as a plan to expand the city of Kabul.
Khair Khana mostly survived the ordeal of the Afghan Civil War (1992–96) which destroyed most of Kabul, with the neighborhood remaining largely intact.
[2] One of the reasons why Khair Khana was spared is because of its north-western location – it was far from the Hezb-i Islami Gulbuddin forces who were attacking the city from the south-east, and in later years the Taliban who were based to the south.
