What are the most spectacular roads in Somalia?

Located in the Horn of Africa, Somalia covers an area of approximately 637,657 square kilometers. Bordered by Djibouti, Ethiopia and Kenya, hot conditions prevail year-round, along with periodic monsoon winds and irregular rainfall.

Despite its natural wonders, right now is better to avoid all travel to Somalia. There have been murders, armed robbery and criminal kidnaps and the security situation is extremely volatile, with the threat of domestic terrorism being high, particularly in south-central Somalia and in the capital, Mogadishu.

However, the country hosts many spectacular roads through the mountains and coastal drives. Sheikh Pass, at 1.497m (4,911ft) above sea level, is a very challenging drive in the northwestern Sahil province, with a high risk of landmines. Located in southern Namibia, the gravel hazardous and dangerous road from Kismayo to Bardera City is said to be the most dangerous road in the world due to illegal checkpoints, militias, rapists, wild animals, daily accidents, narrow and steep passages, and broken tarmac. The coastline of the country is more than 3,333 kilometers in length, the longest of mainland Africa and is home to very scenic drives. Driving through the exciting coastal Lafogoray Road, located in the northeastern Bari region, it is a very exciting beach drive.
