Description
Afghan antiques dealer Muhammad Umar Rahimi carried his most prised possessions to display at Expo 2020 Dubai, hoping to portray his homeland in a light different than that under Taliban rule. Near a fast food joint at the massive world fair site in the United Arab Emirates, with no sign to indicate the location of the Afghan Pavilion, Rahimi has on display 300 items -- from daggers and carpets to lapis lazuli and saffron.
