Around a million worshippers are said to gather here twice a year for the Eid prayers. The mosque lies in the eastern part of the city, in the Shar-e-Barq area, one of Kabul's more affluent neighbourhoods, close to the Mahmud Khan Bridge and the National Stadium.

From Wikipedia
The Eidgah Mosque (Dari: مسجد عیدگاه; Pashto: د عیدګاه جومات); also spelled as the Id Gah Mosque, is a Sunni mosque located in Kabul, Afghanistan. It is located to the southeast of the affluent Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood, near the Ghazi Stadium and Chaman-e-Hozori. It was built during the late 19th century and early 20th century, when the country was ruled by Emir Abdur Rahman Khan and his son Habibullah Khan. The mosque is a tourist attraction in Kabul.
The mosque was used by large crowds of daily prayers, including during the special annual Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers. It was the scene of religious festivals and special ceremonies, such as coronations, funerals, parades, and various other state functions attended by top government officials. It was from this mosque that King Amanullah Khan made an announcement of his country's full independence in 1919.
