Somalia may be in the news for the daring raid President Obama ordered to free aid workers held hostage by pirates. But is there a sunny side to the war-torn country? Perhaps so, according to this online travel guide:
National Parks – With its amazing natural typography the national parks are by far the biggest attraction for holiday makers in Somalia. There are a number of well preserved national parks across that country that will give the tourist the chance to gaze upon a collection of common and rare East African species. The Kismayu National Park of Somalia is one the best that it has to offer. If you want to get a glimpse of some of the rarest African species then the Hargeisa National Park situated in the north is not to miss. Another popular park is situated outside the city of Mogadishu.
Beaches – Somalia has some beautiful beaches lined up against the Indian Ocean in the east. Beach trips when visiting this country should be on top of your priority list. Along with the beaches Somalia boasts an amazing coral reef that runs from Mogadishu all the way up to the Kenyan border in the south. Somali beaches offer a unique experience of tranquility and extreme natural beauty. Situated at a distance of five kilometers from the city of Merca is one of the most sought after beaches of Somalia known as the Sinbusi beach. The shore has some excellent beach huts that will enable you to have modern amenities on a heavenly beach…
Mogadishu – The capital city of that make it a must see city of Somalia. Amongst the different things to explore in the city is the Shanghai Old City. This area served as the playground of the wealthy once upon a time and has been preserved for the globetrotters to explore on their vacations. The area offers unique scenic beauty and examples of architecture that one wouldn’t expect to see in Somalia.
Who knew? Since Somalia, with its absence of government, really is a libertarian paradise, perhaps it would be a good place for Ron Paul to celebrate his next election victory. He has been looking rather pale, recently.
