Somalia

Somalia is a country located on the Horn of Africa, bordering the Indian Ocean to the east and surrounded by Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Kenya. Somalia has a total road network length of approximately 22,100 kilometers, of which only about 2,600 kilometers are paved. The majority of the roads are unpaved, and many of them are difficult to navigate due to the lack of maintenance and the rugged terrain.

There are no expressways or major highways in Somalia, and the majority of the roads are two-lane roads with little to no shoulder. In urban areas, the roads are often congested and chaotic, with heavy traffic and poorly maintained vehicles.

Travelling in Somalia can be challenging, especially in rural areas, where roads are often little more than dirt tracks. Off-road driving is common, and many people travel by 4×4 vehicles. The gravel tracks are often rough and bumpy, and drivers need to exercise caution and drive carefully.

Despite the challenges of navigating Somalia’s roads, the country offers some incredible opportunities for walking, cycling, and hiking. With its beautiful coastline and rugged terrain, Somalia has many trails and routes that are perfect for exploring on foot or by bike. GarminWorldmaps offers detailed topographical maps that can help hikers and cyclists navigate the country’s terrain safely and easily.

However, it’s important to note that travelling in Somalia carries certain risks due to ongoing security concerns and the presence of armed groups. Visitors should take precautions and seek advice from local authorities and travel experts before embarking on any hiking or cycling trips.
