Karkaar Mountains
Dramatic limestone ridges and steep escarpments that parallel the northern coast of Somalia.
Gulf of Aden
As the plane approaches Bosaso, the deep blue waters of the Gulf come into view, contrasting with the arid land.
Bosaso Port and City
A clear view of the bustling maritime hub and the urban sprawl nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Bari Coastline
White sandy beaches meeting the turquoise waters of the coast just east of the city.
The right side is essential for photography during the final approach into Bosaso Airport. Try to book a flight arriving in the afternoon to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains and the sea for high-contrast views.

Mudug Plateau
Vast, orange-hued semi-desert plains stretching toward the interior of the Somali peninsula.
Seasonal Wadis
Intricate patterns of dry riverbeds that carve through the arid landscape, visible as lighter veins in the earth.
Dharoor Valley Edge
The western periphery of the great northern basins, showing unique geological fault lines and limestone outcrops.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side provides a better sense of the scale of the Somali interior and the nomadic routes that crisscross the region.
