Berbera Old Town
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
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.
Tips anggaran
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.

Tentang
Fakta cepat: Узкие улочки Берберы хранят память о временах, когда порт был главными воротами Сомали для торговли с Аравией и Индией. Местные каменные дома с резными деревянными дверями помнят шаги купцов, прибывавших сюда на дау через Аденский залив.
Sorotan: В Старом городе сохранились уникальные османские бани хаммам, которым больше 150 лет и где до сих пор можно почувствовать жар настоящей каменной печи. С крыши одной из разрушенных купеческих вилл открывается вид на лабиринт переулков, где мальчишки гоняют мяч среди стен, которым по 400 лет.
Tips orang dalam
- 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.
