Om
Snabba fakta: 95 procent av all sjöhandel i Somaliland går genom hamnen i Berbera. Varje år hanteras över 2 miljoner ton gods, inklusive boskap till länderna vid Persiska viken.
Höjdpunkter: Hamnen döljer betongpirar från den brittiska kolonialtiden som fortfarande bär spår av kulhål från inbördeskriget. Lokala pojkar dyker vid kajerna efter mynt som turister kastar från förbipasserande fartyg.
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.
