Caves in Somaliland information


Wild animals depicted in the caves of Dhaymoole, Somaliland, many of whom have gone extinct in the region.
Map of Somaliland showing represents rock art sites and Himyarite and Sabaean.

Somaliland has many caves, some of which remain undiscovered.[1] Such is the quality of the paintings that at least 10 sites, scattered across semi-desert terrain, are likely to be given World Heritage status.[citation needed]

The complex cave and rock shelters of Laas Geel, Dhagah Kureh, and Dhagah Nabi Galay lie just 30-45 minutes outside of Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, a self-declared republic. Exhibiting outstanding Neolithic rock art, the sites’ cave paints are considered to be some of the best preserved rock paintings in all of Africa, and are essential to the Horn of Africa’s historical and heritage legacy.
