The Country That Does NOT Exist | Weekend in Somaliland
**Somaliland’s status may be unofficial, but its hidden gems are officially amazing!** Having declared independence from Somalia but not yet recognized, it’s a country that’s not technically a country. From Africa’s most vivid cave paintings (to suit an archaeologist’s dreams) to ancient temples in forgotten villages to the captivating charms of a city risen from the ashes!
**Hargeisa,** with its friendly, bustling markets of camels, money exchanges with towers of bills, and curiosities around every corner with many tales to tell. is surely one of Africa’s most unique destinations.
**The cave paintings of Laas Geel** (“Camel’s Well”) spread over 10 alcoves are some of the most vivid rock art in all of Africa, with depictions of horned cattle in ceremonial robes accompanied by their human herders, as well as animals as varied as giraffes and even a domesticated dog. It’s estimated that these **paintings date back to 18,000 BC, or nearly 20,000 years ago!**
**From the low-key charms of Hargeisa to the jaw-dropping wonders of Laas Geel, Somaliland is a “country” not to be missed!**
**Let’s go!!!**
**Day 1 // Hargeisa**
Meet at Dubai airport at 2 a.m. for a direct flight to Hargeisa at 4:10 a.m.
After arrival and immigration, transfer to the hotel for a quick rest before heading into town for a walking tour of the central market, war memorial, and a stop at the livestock exchange for those who want to purchase a goat or a camel with a wheelbarrow of local currency.
Afterward, we’ll head to dinner at a restaurant run by Yemeni refugees. We’ll have chai with the locals before heading back to the hotel.
**Day 2 // Laas Geel + Berbera**
After breakfast, drive to the caves and rock art of Laas Geel, a complex of rock shelters that feature some of the most impressive Neolithic rock art in Africa. Estimated to be nearly 20,000 years old and the second oldest in all of Africa, the paintings depict wild animals, ancient pastoralists, and other scenes from prehistoric times.
We’ll explore the colorful caves and continue to the coastal city of Berbera, where we will visit a historical Ottoman mosque and Ottoman houses. Late lunch at an Ottoman house.
Next, we'll head to the old town, where you will find more Persian and British architecture of historic significance. This will be a great chance for some amazing photographs, as well as a visit to the untouched Berbera beaches. In the evening, we head back to Hargeisa.
**Day 3 // Return**
Early morning flight back to Dubai. Bye-bye, Somaliland!
**Activity:** sightseeing, short hiking, boating.

Shadow of the Buddhas | Weekend in Bamian + Kabul, Afghanistan
**Afghanistan may fascinate, enchant, although this love can be difficult.** In 2021, the Americans finally withdrew from Afghanistan, and the Taliban took power almost without a single shot being fired. They quickly established relative safety in the country, although unfortunately women lost many rights under the new regime. Nevertheless, Afghanistan once again became a country that is possible to visit.
Afghanistan has a fascinating history and material evidence of it. The hospitality of its people, beautiful landscapes, mountains, customs, and monuments will make you forget of any association with the conflicts.
Kabul – the capital and largest city of Afghanistan – will certainly make you think and feel many things, a destination for the bold at a time when many will have a word or two to share about your adventure choice, let’s have a quick look and see for ourselves. **High in a mountain valley between the Kabul River and the Hindu Kush**, dense with history dating back thousands of years, a Silk Road destination half-way between Istanbul and Hanoi, a crossroads between Tartary, India, and Persia, and ruled by dynasties and empires from the Kushans and Hindu Shahis to the Turks, Samanids, and Mongols, among many others.
**The historical site of Bamiyan in Afghanistan was once home to several large Buddha statues**. Before the destruction of the statues in 2001, there were two prominent statues known as the Bamiyan Buddhas. One statue was 53 meters tall, and the other was 38 meters tall. These statues represented the culmination of the Gandhara Buddhist art style and served as significant religious and cultural landmarks in the area.
**DAY 1 :: Bamian**
Meeting at airport for a direct flight to Kabul. Arrival, immigration, quick coffee and drive to **Bamian**. Start exploration by **visiting the Buddha Niches**. These ancient caves used to house large Buddha statues, some of which were tragically destroyed during the Taliban regime. Continue to nearby caves, still inhabited by Hazaris.
Continue to the city of **Zhonk**. Visit the historic Qala Kephthar fortress, which overlooks the city and offers breathtaking panoramic views. Take a stroll through the local bazaars and interact with the friendly locals. If time allows: **Shahr-e Gholghola (City of Screams)** the ruins of an ancient city thought to have been built in the 13th century by the Mongol leader Genghis Khan. Admire the fascinating archaeological remnants and learn about their historical significance. In the evening **traditional Afghan dinner, at rooftop restaurant** (subject of trip karma) to check out delicious dishes like mantu (dumplings), kebabs, and qabuli pulao while enjoying the evening breeze and take in the panoramic views of the city and its surroundings. Overnight in Bamian.
**DAY 2 :: Band E-Amir and Kabul**
Early start to visit **Band E-Amir** lakes (subject to local approvals) and return to Kabul.
Subject to traffic condition, we should have ample time to visit **Sakhi Shrine, Babur Garden**, which is a charming and well-maintained historic garden with a Persian-style design. It was constructed in the 16th century by Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire. This garden is renowned for its breathtaking terraces, pavilions, and vibrant flora. Followed by **Shah-e Soh Shamshira Mosque.** In the evening kebab dinner. Overnight in Kabul.
**DAY 3 :: Shopping time & departure**
After having cake and milk breakfast, we will visit a couple of intriguing markets in Kabul.
We’ll start with photo studio using a **100-year-old camera** to take your passport photo. The carefully preserved camera not only produces crisp, high-quality images but also offers a tactile connection to the nostalgic age of the dawn of photography, when light first learned to write memory on paper.
Next, we continue to the **Ka Faroshi Bird Market,** a vibrant and centuries-old bazaar which is a Cathrin for cherished hobby among the locals. The market bustles with the flutter of wings and the sounds of lively bargaining, offering a glimpse into a beloved cultural tradition.
From there, we head to the iconic **Chicken Street**, once a legendary stop on the historic 'Hippie Trail' of the 1960s and 70s. Today, it’s a colorful stretch filled with local handicrafts, handmade carpets, antique jewelry, and rare treasures that are hard to find anywhere else. We’ll enjoy our final lunch together at **local kebab bistro**, savoring traditional flavors one last time before transferring to the airport for our journey back home.
**Grade:** Easy.
**Activities:** Sightseeing, trekking.
**Accomo & meals:** local hotels - shared rooms, meals included.
**Cost:** **5500 AED** **all incl. flights, until MAR 29th**.
Past this date cost will change.
**Visas:** Costs related to visas are specifically excluded from the budget. We will guide you throughout visa process.

Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
This is a free, in person meeting.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
