Transportation from Hargeisa Airport to the City Center
Hargeisa Airport (HGA), or officially Egal International Airport, is located in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, an autonomous region of Somalia. Its name comes from Muhammad Haji Ibrahim Egal, the second president of Somaliland. The region is known for its stonemasonry, retail and construction industry.
There has been a settled life in Hargeisa since ancient times. Some of the best examples of rock arts dating back to the Neolithic age are found on the rocks near the city. In the city, you can experience the real Africa. You can join off-road tours and taste the food of different cultures.
Although Somaliland is a relatively safe location compared to Somalia, it is still a place where you should act cautiously and keep the security. Many foreign government officials, businessmen and tourists prefer the Ambassador Hotel or the Mansoor Hotel to stay away from the city and close to the airport. The strong security measures taken by these hotels play a major role in this.
For security reasons, it is recommended to visit Hargeisa with armed guards and a taxi or guide that you trust. This also applies to airport transfers. Hargeisa International Airport is only six kilometers from the city center. If you do not have any concerns about security, you can take one of the taxis waiting outside the airport to go to the city. You can reach the city center in 18 minutes by taxi, which is much cheaper than renting a car.
You can also arrange a private transfer from a company or website you trust. However, it is important to remind you that it will be more economically convenient when you receive these types of services as a group instead of individually.
Alternatively, if you are going to Somaliland for business, you can ask a colleague or the company you are visiting to pick you up from the airport. So you have nothing to worry about safety and spend your first moments downtown, in the country, with someone who knows the place.
