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.
Direkomendasikan untuk
Experienced travelers, Photographers and architecture enthusiasts, Seekers of non-touristy routes, Fans of the history of trade and navigation

Tentang
Fakta cepat: Gang-gang sempit Berbera menyimpan kenangan masa ketika pelabuhan ini menjadi gerbang utama Somalia untuk perdagangan dengan Arabia dan India. Rumah-rumah batu lokal dengan pintu kayu berukir mengingat langkah para pedagang yang tiba dengan perahu dhow melintasi Teluk Aden.
Sorotan: Di Kota Tua masih tersimpan pemandian hammam Ottoman yang unik, berusia lebih dari 150 tahun dan di sana Anda masih bisa merasakan panasnya tungku batu asli. Dari atap salah satu vila pedagang yang hancur terlihat labirin gang-gang tempat anak-anak bermain bola di antara dinding-dinding yang berusia 400 tahun.
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.
