Puntland is the home of the Somali ethnic group. Puntland’s official language is Somali. Despite this, there are many Puntland citizens who speak both Arabic and English. Puntland’s culture is a mix of Somali and Arab influences. The predominant religion in Puntland is Islam. In Puntland, the majority of the population lives in rural areas and engages in subsistence agriculture. Camal and goats are the most commonly raised livestock. In Puntland, fishing plays an important role in the economy and culture.
In comparison with other parts of Somalia, Puntland offers a relatively safe environment for visitors. Nevertheless, when traveling to this region, it is important to be aware of cultural sensitivities. As an example, women should dress modestly and refrain from wearing shorts or skirts above the knee. It is not recommended for men to wear shorts unless they are participating in sports activities. Taking photographs of people without their permission is also considered rude.
