Hargeisa is the capital of Somaliland and one of the most requested routes from the UK, with large communities in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and Sheffield travelling home to visit family. A Plus Travel compares fares from UK airports to Egal International Airport (HGA).
There is no direct UK flight. Most journeys connect through Addis Ababa with Ethiopian Airlines, with other options through Dubai, Istanbul or Djibouti depending on dates. Total travel time is typically 12 to 18 hours including the layover. Because Hargeisa has limited daily flights, seats fill quickly around Eid, the summer holidays and Christmas, so booking early gives the best fares. Read our guide to flying to Hargeisa for practical advice on arrival, baggage and what to expect.
Hargeisa sits at around 1,300 metres, so it is cooler than much of the Horn of Africa. October to March is the most comfortable period, while April to June can be hot and the main rains fall in spring and autumn.
Visit the Hargeisa Cultural Centre and the livestock and camel markets, travel to the ancient rock paintings at Laas Geel, or take a day trip to the Red Sea port of Berbera.
Entry requirements for Somaliland differ from the rest of Somalia, and the FCDO advice varies by region, so read it before you travel. US dollars are widely used. We confirm requirements when we quote.
