Overview

Tour Details

Thank you for joining us in Mogadishu, the capital and largest city of Somalia. In the 1970s and 1980s, before the civil war broke out in 1991, Mogadishu was considered one of the world’s top ten cities. With its stunning beaches and classical architecture, the ancient city of Mogadishu was once hailed as the jewel of East Africa. Its strategic location along a coastline of over three thousand kilometers made Mogadishu’s seaport a key transport hub between Africa and Asia.

Let Visit Horn Africa assist you. We will help you experience Mogadishu like a local, even if you have never been there before.

Mogadishu’s fish market is one of the most photogenic places in the city. 

Take a look at the old harbor. It is the oldest port in Somalia. Visit Mogadishu’s iconic lighthouse, which was reconstructed during the Italian colonial era. While it is no longer operational, it remains an important symbol of Mogadishu’s maritime heritage.

Every year in Somalia, the Somali Youth League commemorates its founding on May 15, 1943.
