Khirka Sharif, the shrine where some believe the jacket of the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) is believed to be held. The man in the picture is reputed to be 112 years old and that was in 1881!
It is believed that the coat was brought over to Afghanistan from what is now Saudi Arabia as a goodwill gesture. [BBC]
