Weather

Rain is a non-factor here almost every month — the real story of the year is temperature, swinging from January's cooler stretch to July's peak heat. In January, expect highs around 24°C with rain on roughly 3 days of the month.

Things to Do

Coastal areas like Berbera, with their long Indian Ocean beaches, are the main draw for the few travelers who visit.

Local Cuisine

Try Somali-style biryani and sambusas, reflecting the country's Indian Ocean trade links.
