O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Pod ovim granitnim prevjesima u planinama Somalilanda nalazi se jedna od najbolje očuvanih kolekcija pećinskih slika u cijeloj Africi. Drevni umjetnici su ovdje prije 5.000 do 9.000 godina ovjekovječili krave u svečanim haljinama, ljude s ispruženim rukama i tajanstvene pitome životinje s neobičnim oblicima vratova.
Istaknuto: Slike prikazuju krave ukrašene nekom vrstom ritualnog ogrtača, što je motiv koji se u sjevernoj Africi nigdje drugdje ne pojavljuje. Arheolozi su ovo mjesto otkrili tek 2002. godine, kada su lokalni pastiri skrenuli pažnju francuskom istraživačkom timu na „stijene koje pričaju priče".
Insajderski savjeti
- Hire a local guide from Hargeisa who knows the exact spots where the sun hits the paintings at the right time.
- A camera with zoom is essential; you are not allowed to get closer than two meters to the paintings.
- Light clothing and a cap will protect you from the harsh sun, but the shade under the rock is pleasantly cool.
- The drive from Hargeisa (about 50 km) takes 45 minutes by off-road vehicle; we do not recommend a regular car on the dirt road.
