The Ministry of Trade and Tourism is collaborating with the French Development Agency (AFD) to preserve and develop archaeological sites in Somaliland.
Particularly, they announced plans to prioritize Laas Geel, which is one of the most significant ancient rock art sites in Africa.
The tourism ministry announced the partnership with AFD this week.
This partnership aims to promote cultural heritage preservation and boost tourism by enhancing the visibility of these historical treasures.
The initiative is expected to improve local infrastructure and attract more tourists, contributing to Somaliland’s economic growth while safeguarding its rich history.
Laas Geel, known for its well-preserved rock paintings dating back thousands of years, remains a focal point of this effort.
