Be advised that travel to Somalia is currently not advised. This includes the 3 eastern regions of Somaliland – Togdheer, Sanaag and Sool – and excludes the 3 western regions of Somaliland – Awdal, Maroodijeh and Sahil. This is due to the threat from terrorist groups and continuing violence.

Mogadishu is a city that you won't want to miss out on. Visit the Bakaara Market, a labyrinthine sprawl where locals congregate to trade and relax and the air is filled with the scent of spices and freshly cooked local delicacies.

But Mogadishu is more than busy marketplaces and delicious food. Explore the thought-provoking ruins of the Old Town, remnants of a glorious past etched in weathered stone. Wander through the arched doorways of the Mogadishu Cathedral, a bastion of the city's architecture.
