Om
Raske fakta: 95 prosent av all sjøhandel i Somaliland går gjennom havnen i Berbera. Årlig håndteres mer enn 2 millioner tonn last, inkludert buskap til landene i Persiabukta.
Høydepunkter: Havnen skjuler betongkaier fra den britiske kolonitiden som fortsatt bærer merker etter kulehull fra borgerkrigen. Lokale gutter dykker ved bryggene etter mynter som turister kaster fra forbipasserende skip.
Insidertips
- 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.
