4 DAYS SOMALILAND HIGHLIGHTS TOUR.
Of all the beauties in Somaliland, there’s no doubt that Las Geel is one of the most impressive. This complex of caves is adorned with beautiful polychrome rock carvings dating from the Neolithic era and perfectly intact. It’s said to have been inhabited by ghosts, and they are still the only true guardians of this priceless collection of pastoral scenes and stylised figures of men and animals in distinctive iconographies. Berbera, a decadent Ottoman port town on the Red Sea-Indian Ocean border, and the bustling Hargeisa camel market (one of the biggest in the horn of Africa) are equally striking.
Experience a 4-day tour that captures the essence of what makes Somaliland special. This tour is ideal for travelers who want a comprehensive overview of the country.
