Somalia occupies a unique position at the Horn of Africa, where ancient trade routes converged and civilizations flourished. Despite decades of conflict that have earned it an unfortunate reputation, this is a land of extraordinary archaeological treasures, stunning coastlines, and remarkably resilient people. The country remains challenging for visitors, but those who venture here discover a place where hospitality endures against all odds, and where some of humanity's oldest art adorns remote desert caves.
