National Voices on Berbera
What Somaliland's leaders are saying about Berbera & Sahil.
"Berbera is not just a port — it is the artery of Somaliland's economy and the cornerstone of our nation's place in the wider region. Strengthening Berbera means strengthening Somaliland."
H.E. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Irro)
President of the Republic of Somaliland
"The development of Berbera Port is one of the most important national projects in the history of Somaliland — a gateway for the Horn of Africa to the world."
H.E. Muse Bihi Abdi
Former President of Somaliland
"Our duty as a Municipality is to build a coastal city worthy of Berbera's thousand-year history — and ready for the next thousand years."
Hon. Abdishakur Mahamud Edin
Mayor of Berbera · Governor of Sahil Region
Visit Sahil
Where the Gulf of Aden meets ancient heritage.
Sahil is Somaliland's coastal soul — turquoise reefs, white beaches, Ottoman-era streets, mountain forests and hot springs, all within a few hours' drive of Berbera. A region with a thousand-year trade history and a tourism story just beginning to be told.
Signature Destination
The Berbera Sea
Crystal-clear Gulf of Aden waters, coral gardens and one of Africa's most underrated coastlines.
Coastal
Batalaale Beach
Berbera's signature white-sand beach — calm turquoise waters, coral reefs and a relaxed coastal promenade just minutes from the city centre.
Heritage
Old Berbera Town
A walkable quarter of Ottoman-, Arab- and British-era architecture, courtyard houses, the historic mosque and the old governor's residence.
Marine
Berbera Sea & Coral Reefs
The Gulf of Aden's protected reefs offer some of the Horn of Africa's clearest snorkelling and diving — a frontier destination for marine tourism.
Highland
Sheikh Mountain Highlands
A cool, green retreat 1,500m above sea level — historic Sheikh town, juniper forests and panoramic escarpment views over the coast.
Nature
Biyo Gure Hot Springs
Natural mineral hot springs in inland Sahil, long visited for their reputed healing properties — a quiet, off-the-map experience.
Scenic
Daallo & Golis Escarpment
The dramatic Golis range that frames Sahil's southern horizon — dramatic cliffs, endemic birds and pristine high-country drives.
