Über
Schnelle Fakten: Durch den Hafen von Berbera laufen 95 Prozent des gesamten Seehandels Somalilands. Jährlich werden hier über 2 Millionen Tonnen Fracht umgeschlagen, darunter Vieh für die Länder des Persischen Golfs.
Highlights: Der Hafen verbirgt Betonpfeiler aus der britischen Kolonialzeit, die noch immer Spuren von Einschusslöchern aus dem Bürgerkrieg tragen. Einheimische Jungen tauchen an den Kais nach Münzen, die Touristen von vorbeifahrenden Schiffen werfen.
Insidertipps
- Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants: the piers are concrete, and the warehouses are full of dust and gravel.
- The best photos are taken from the northern tip of the port, where old rusty cranes stand against the turquoise water.
- Do not try to go through the main gate with cameras without asking; the security is strict. It is better to ask the port manager for permission.
- Come on livestock shipping days (Saturday and Sunday): the sight of loading hundreds of sheep and goats onto ships is unforgettable.
