Tourism in Somalia

Berbera, the translation of "Berbera". A port city in northern Somalia. Near the Gulf of Aden. The natural deep-water port at the southern end of the Red Sea plays an important role. Population is 65,000 (1984). In the commercial center of the vast pastoral areas in the north, a large number of herders come here with their livestock in the cool season every year, and the trade is quite prosperous. Most of the country's live animals are exported through here, as well as leather and gum Arabic. Fishing port. There are also enterprises such as cement plants. Roads lead to inland cities such as Hargeisa. There is an international airport. 1985 completed the port expansion project and built a new pier of 330 meters. Somaliland, located in the horn of Africa in the northwest of Somalia, was once ruled by Britain. 199 1 In May, the deer tribe in northern Somalia declared its independence, established the Republic of Somaliland, and occupied five of the original 18 provinces in Somalia. The country is roughly located between Ethiopia, Djibouti and the Gulf of Aden, with an area of137,600 square kilometers, with Hargeisa as the capital. There are cave murals in Lasgarh, Somaliland, which is considered as the most attractive scenic spot in the Horn of Africa. I believe a small number of tourists go to the countryside to see this scenic spot. Located near Hargeisa, this scenic spot was discovered by a French archaeological team in 2002. In order to protect this relic, the local government restricted the number of tourists coming in and out. Other attractions worth visiting include the Freedom Arch in Hargeisa and the War Memorial in the city center. The natural landscape of the country can be seen everywhere, and Naasa Hablood, the twin mountain in the suburb of Hargeisa, is regarded as a great natural landmark by the people of Somaliland.
