Sheikh Mountain Range Lookout
最佳游览时间
From December to February, when the thick fog rolls off the mountains and the best viewpoints over the bay open up. Arrive by 7 a.m. to catch the sunrise over the Indian Ocean through breaks in the cloud caps.
预算提示
Entry to the viewpoints is free, but local guides from shepherd villages expect tips of 5-10 dollars for guiding you along the trails. Bring cash in Somali shillings or dollars. Cards are not accepted and there are no ATMs in the mountains.

关于
快速信息: 谢赫山脉沿亚丁湾海岸绵延60公里，最高峰达2500米。这是索马里唯一可以看到真正杜松林的地方，还能遇到在岩石坡上跳跃的珍稀迪巴塔格羚羊。
亮点: 在海拔2000米处，云雾缠绕着山坡，让人产生一种正行走在天空中的错觉，穿行在古老的杜松树干之间。其中一些树已有500年的树龄，它们的根系历经数十年深入花岗岩裂缝，literally将岩石撑裂。
内部小贴士
- Wear trekking boots and a windbreaker: at an altitude of 2 km the temperature drops to +10°C even in the dry season, and the wind cuts right through you.
- The best photo can be taken from the "Heavenly Gate" ledge 15 minutes before sunset. The sun lights up the junipers in orange.
- Do not waste time climbing to the very top of the ridge. The best views of the bay open up from the 1,800-meter mark.
- Bring 2 liters of water per person. There are no springs along the route, and the scorching sun on exposed sections can dehydrate you within an hour.
