Places to visit in Somalia

Laas Gaal Cave Paintings
 An archaeological team from France discovered these ancient artifacts in 2002. In order to preserve the cave, there’s currently a restriction on the number of people allowed to visit the site at a time.

Sheikh
 This historic town is home to many British colonial buildings, untouched for decades.

Zeila
Formerly a part of the Ottoman Empire, Zeila was also a dependency of Yemen and Egypt, as it served as a major trading city in the 19th century. Whilst there you can see old colonial landmarks, coral reefs, towering cliffs, and beaches.

Freedom Arch of Hargeisa
The arch and the war memorial in this city’s centre are well worth visiting. Both offer audio commentary on Somalia’s unbelievable progress.

Naasa Hablood Hill 
Situated on the outskirts of Hargeisa, these two hills are considered by native Somalians a wonderful natural landmark.
