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

Hargeisa and the coastal town of Berbera are the main draws for the small number of travelers who visit this unrecognized state.

Local Cuisine

Try Somali-style rice with goat meat and sambusas, shared with wider Somali cuisine.
