**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. **Duration:** Long weekend FRI – SUN. **Accommodation and meals:** 4 star hotel, single rooms. Meals excluded. **Cost: 2910 AED** excluding flights until JAN 17th. On this date we will close the list. **Specifically included:** Letter of invitation for visa on arrival, single rooms. **Specifically excluded:** visa fees payable on arrival, restaurant meals, insurance.

Far less popular on the tourist trail than its neighbor India, but much more intriguing, **Bangladesh** remains a very little known corner of the world. You'll find a truly fascinating combination here: cultural immersion to discover **untouched,** **remote tribes,** but also **brutality of modern industry at the one of the** **world’s largest ship breaking yards**. While 80% of the country is made up of fertile lowlands called the Bangladesh Plain, in the far southeastern corner of Bangladesh, bordering Myanmar, is the **Chittagong Hill Tracts area**, featuring **green, undulating topography** that is strikingly different, and incredibly scenic. Here, in the **Bandarban Hill District**, it is not only the landscapes that are unique – many of the inhabitants are very different from the majority of Bengalis, making for a fascinating **crossover between subcontinent and far east cultures**. The first settlers of these hills were tribes from Myanmar, and today there are **11 distinct ethnic groups** **who are** **only found in the Bandarban area**. Their lifestyle and culture differ greatly from those of the plains Bengalis, from their thatched bamboo huts to their **distinctive languages, rituals, dress** **and handicrafts**. A visit to the **Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard** is a unique opportunity to see up close as giant cargo ships, oil tankers and other vessels are broken down, bit by bit…there aren’t many places in the world where we can get access to a place like this! This **cemetery of steel and iron**, with monster ship carcasses in various stages of decay, is a sight to behold. **Let’s go!** **Day 1: Bandarban – Golden Temple, Tribal Village, Nilachal** Arrival to Chittagong Airport; meet the team and drive to **Bandarban**. After some lunch, we’ll set out to discover the area. First stop is **Golden Temple**, an impressive, glittering gilt structure housing the massive Buddha Dhatu Jadi statue. The temple belongs to the Theravada Buddhism order, which is practiced by the Marma indigenous people, the dominant ethnic group in the Bandarban area. Next we visit the **Tanchangya tribe**, who earn their living cultivating the land. They are known for their traditional costumes and ornaments, and Tanchangya women can be easily spotted because of their unique dress and hairstyle. Later we’ll head to **Nilachal**, high up in the hills about 1600 to 2000 feet above sea level. From here we’ll have stunning views of the surrounding area, the city of Bandarban, as well as Cox’s Bazar beach, and enjoy a magnificent sunset. **Day 2: Bandarban – Chimbuk &** **Nilgiri, Tribal Villages** After breakfast, we’ll set off to capture more amazing views. **Chimbuk** is the third largest mountain in Bangladesh, and its peak lies up a winding road overlooking the hills and towns below. Next we’ll head to **Nilgiri**, a popular resort area and a place of spectacular beauty. In the afternoon, we’ll get to know the diverse local peoples a bit better. First stop is the village of the **Tripura indigenous people**, who subsist on slash-and-burn farming in the remote hills and valleys. This small Animistic and Hindu ethnic group only numbers around 60,000 people, but clings proudly to its traditional ways. We’ll stop at the **Shaila Prapat waterfall** before heading to **Bawm tribal village**, home to a group hailing from Chin state in western Myanmar. The group’s first wave of migration to Bangladesh took place more than 500 years ago, and today 200 Bawm families live in the Bandabar area, facing much discrimination due to their Christian faith. Last is the **village of the** **Mru (or Murong) people**, also originally from Myanmar, who left their homeland due to invasions by rival tribes and colonisation by the British. This peaceful Buddhist society relies on hunting and bamboo crafting, and values the preservation of its unique cultural traditions. **Day 3: Chittagong – Potenga Beach, Ship Breaking Yard** We’ll head to Chittagong, making a stop at the **Bandarban hanging bridge** on the way. After a couple hours’ drive we’ll get some sea views at popular **Patenga Beach**. In the afternoon we’ll enjoy a truly unique experience, witnessing the dismantling of iron and steel giants at the **Chittagong** **Ship Breaking Yard**. Once the world’s largest, the scale of industry at this ship breaking yard is truly astounding, the site teeming with over 200,000 workers taking apart and salvaging materials from vessels from around the world. After dinner we’ll head to the airport, saying bye-bye to Bangladesh after a fascinating few days of discovery.
