Tour Overview

Mogadishu is a unique city along the East coast of Africa and is the capital of Somalia. With deep Italian heritage, the city lives in the shadows of the old colonial power. The architecture, urban planning, and way of life all revolve around the Italian.

On this walking tour, we will move from place to place and learn the deep history of Mogadishu. These colonial powers moved in and set up compounds just off the coast in Mogadishu and began a very successful trading outpost. With direct ties to the Middle East and other places along the coast, the Italians, British, and other leaders of the city quickly became very wealthy. This tour will show the different historical structures that have a historic design, the importance of them, and highlight the danger and fighting that is constantly occurring.
