Itinerary

Your tour in Somaliland starts with your arrival in Hargeisa, the capital city. After checking in at your hotel, if time permits you can spend the day exploring the city’s vibrant markets and busy streets. One of the must-visit spots in Hargeisa is the livestock market, where you can see camels, goats, and sheep being traded in a bustling atmosphere. Overnight in Hargeisa at Damal hotel or similar.

After breakfast, you’ll leave Hargeisa for a day trip to Laas Geel, a complex of caves and rock shelters that feature some of the most impressive Neolithic rock art in Africa. The paintings depict wild animals, ancient pastoralists, and other scenes from prehistoric times. From Laas Geel, you’ll head to the coastal city of Berbera, upon arrival, visit a historical Ottoman Mosque and Ottoman houses. Late lunch was served at an Ottoman house. Take a short boat trip to go hunt for shipwrecks in the Gulf of Aden. Relax and swim at an untouched beach, where local youth and families come and enjoy their downtime. (Due to local culture, ladies will need to cover their bodies while in water.) Tour the historic town of Berbera in the early evening, where you will find more Ottoman, Persian, and British architecture of historic interest. This will be a great chance for some amazing photographs at sunset. Overnight in Berbera at Damal hotel or similar.

Today, you’ll explore the region around Berbera, drive to the small town of Sheikh in the mountains, stop for some tea, walk around and enjoy the pleasant climate. Visit the ruins of Ferdusa – a 16th-century city.. The town is known for its many ancient tombs, some of which date back to the 13th century. After Sheikh, you’ll head back to Hargeisa, stopping along the way to admire the stunning scenery and take some memorable photos. Overnight in Hargeisa at Damal hotel or similar.

After breakfast, you’ll head to Dhagah Kure, it’s an archaeological site located on the western side of Hargeisa, the capital city of Somaliland. Similar to the famous Laas Geel rock art site, Dhagah Kure features a collection of ancient cave paintings that date back thousands of years. While Dhagah Kure is not as well-known as Laas Geel, it is still a fascinating and important site for anyone interested in the prehistory of Africa. Visitors can explore the caves and marvel at the intricate and detailed paintings, which have been remarkably well-preserved over the centuries. After Dhagah Kure,  you will visit the town of Arabsiyo and its valleys, and also Gabiley. Gabiley is known as the breadbasket of Somaliland and is renowned for its agriculture.
