Berbera Old Town
Najbolje vrijeme za posjetu
Early morning from 7 to 9, before the sun starts beating down mercilessly and the streets are free of crowds of locals rushing to work. From November to February the weather is most comfortable for walks.

Entry to the Old City is free, but local schoolchildren often offer themselves as guides for a couple of dollars. Bring small bills with you; neither cards nor change for large notes are accepted here.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Uske ulice Berbere čuvaju sjećanje na vremena kada je luka bila glavna kapija Somalije za trgovinu s Arabijom i Indijom. Lokalne kamene kuće s rezbarenim drvenim vratima pamte korake trgovaca koji su ovdje stizali na dau preko Adenskog zaljeva.
Istaknuto: U Starom gradu sačuvane su jedinstvene osmanske banje hamam, stare više od 150 godina, gdje se i dalje može osjetiti vrelina prave kamene peći. Sa krova jedne od razrušenih trgovačkih vila otvara se pogled na lavirint uličica gdje dječaci igraju loptu među zidovima starim 400 godina.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear closed-toe shoes. Goats and trash roam among the stones, and sandals will not protect you from dust and sharp edges.
- Take photos of the carved wooden doors on Sheikh Mahmud Street. These are the oldest and most richly decorated examples in the city.
- Skip the main mosque interior if you are not a Muslim. You will not be let in anyway, but the facade with its 19th century minaret is worth examining.
- Agree on the price with local guides before the tour starts, not after. The usual rate is 3-5 dollars per hour.
