What to see in Mogadishu

Mogadishu is an ancient coastal city and the capital of Somalia with a centuries-old history, where Arab, African and Islamic traditions intertwine. Its atmosphere combines the noise of the port, the narrow quarters of the old city and lively modern life, and the historic monuments remind of Mogadishu’s important role in the region.

Manufactures and facilities

Among the man-made attractions, the Fakhr ad-Din Mosque is especially prominent - one of the oldest mosques of the XIII century, built by the first sultan of the city and preserving the centuries-old traditions of architecture and religious life. The city also retains old markets, remnants of historic buildings and other religious buildings that highlight Mogadishu’s trade ties and cultural diversity.

Natural attractions and places

The region’s natural attractions are no less impressive: the Juba River and the Webi Shebeli River form the vast river landscapes of southern and central Somalia, and the Huarsangeli-Mijurtina mountain ranges and national parks such as Kismayo National Park offer opportunities to observe nature and wildlife.
