the heart of Somaliland on this immersive 3-day cultural and coastal

vibrant fish market, traditional fishermen’s harbor, Ottoman-era
architecture, and the Berbera Museum, before relaxing at a seaside hotel
and enjoying fresh seafood by the coast.

former colonial hill station known for its cooler climate, historic buildings,
and panoramic views. Continue to the world-famous Laas Geel Rock Art site,
home to remarkably preserved prehistoric cave paintings depicting ancient
rituals, cattle, and early human life. In the evening, return to Hargeisa
for a comfortable overnight stay.
The
final day focuses on Hargeisa’s cultural highlights, including the
lively camel market, Waheen Market, city center, and the iconic War
Memorial (MiG Jet). Visit cultural institutions such as the Hargeisa
Cultural Foundation and Saryan Museum to gain deeper insight into Somali
