Located in the Horn of Africa, Somalia is Africa’s Easternmost country and boasts the longest coastline on the continental mainland. Its capital, Mogadishu, known locally as Xamar or Hamar, is one of the world’s oldest trading ports thanks to its strategic positioning on the cusp of the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Our short city tour offers the chance to experience the coastal city’s buzzing energy and unique cultural influences as well as historical sites and idyllic white sands. 

The tour includes a full day exploring Mogadishu with security escorts, taking in the stunning white sands of Lido Beach, the bustling fish market with its daily fresh catch of tuna, swordfish and sharks, the historic cathedral area and the old town’s beautifully preserved Italian colonial architecture.
