Adventure Travel Destination
Adventure travelers are generally looking for three things: historical sights, interesting cultures and natural wonders. Ethiopia's Somali region is somewhat short on the historical sights, but it is strong on the culture and nature aspects, making it a potential adventure travel destination of note. The main historical sight in the region is Alibilal Cave in the Erer District, about 6 miles from Erer town.
This cave is covered in prehistoric paintings of cows, giraffes, gazelle and other figures. In terms of culture, the Somali region delivers some great attractions. There are not many places left in the world where you can see camel herders living much as they did centuries ago. You can drink fresh camel milk in traditional domed huts, and try shay Somali which is Somali tea mixed with sugar and camel's milk that tastes a lot like Indian chai. Because Somalis are not used to tourism, adventure travelers here will be free from a lot of the usual hassles like touts and pushy vendors.
