More than 1.2 million people call Hargeisa home. The capital of Somaliland is safe, peaceful and growing rapidly since Somalia's collapse in 1991. While the scars of the civil war can still be seen on the city streets, Hargeisa represents the optimistic future of Somalia with its influx of foreign investments.
There are no real tourist sights in Hargeisa, but that is part of its appeal. The market in the town's center is worth visiting, as are the camel markets on the outskirts of the city. The locals are extremely welcoming when they see visitors wandering in the streets, and foreigners are often made the center of attention. The city also has many of the conveniences visitors look for, including restaurants serving up delicious dishes, hotels staffed with English speakers, exotic teashops, public transportation, Internet cafes and more. The neighborhoods are lively, the streets are busy and the air is thick with positive energy.
