THE AMBASSADOR HOTEL: THE BEST LUXURY HOTEL IN SOMALIA

This is THE luxury hotel in Somaliland. Do not get too excited – they will never have a swimming pool. So what do you get? A nice clean and efficient hotel set in wonderful gardens that are also a sprawling restaurant. The beds are modern and comfy with a mosquito net and overhead fan. Keep the dark curtains closed and the rooms are lovely and cool. Keep them open to dry clothes in the day. Bathrooms are modern & clean, but only have a basic shower. The whole hotel has wi-fi and an internet area if you are not carrying a laptop. In your room you get a satellite TV and very cold mini-bar fridge. You have to bring your own alcohol into the country. They have a rooftop you can walk on to see all of Hargeysa. For more active guests they have a gym and tennis courts.

Security? Fantastic. One of the guards escorted me to another hotel one night after dark when I went for a meal. He refused payment – just felt it was his job. I did buy him dinner though.

You can pay the bandit taxis $5 for the 3-4 miles into town, walk or take the shared taxis/bus for a few pennies. They come every 20 minutes or so.

The restaurant is spread out all over the grounds. You can dine completely outside, half inside or completely inside – all set in the amazing gardens. Their menu is massive, you can watch them cooking of you wish and the quality is very good.

They do have VIP rooms and private villas for upscale guests.

Enjoy!


* Fabulous gardens & outdoor dining
* Reservations can be booked from their website
* Wi-fi
* Excellent room fridges
* Satellite TV
* Quiet

THE ORIENTAL HOTEL: RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE

The Oriental Hotel is a class act. It is THE Hotel in the centre of Hargeisa. There is a travel agent/airline office just at the entrance. After reception you enter a massive indoor courtyard complete with canopies. They dish out some delicious looking meals here and the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. The founder of the hotel fought in World War II for the British Army and a picture of his medals hang over the fountain.

Rooms are well appointed. Beds are comfy and the bathrooms have their own hot water heaters. I was impressed with the hotel in general. It is well priced (less than $20 a night), has good facilities and is perfectly located in town.

Fanole Rice Farm

While operating in Jilib, we stayed in an abandoned rice farm built by the Chinese. We "air assaulted" in, and occupied by force. I was on the initial recon, as the medical officer, and scoped the place out for health hazards, as well as looked for a good place for our aid station. We ended up setting up shop in what may have been an admin building or something. It worked really well. Was clean (eventually), and dry (during the few times it rained).

It was strange...here was an entire compound that was unoccupied. Each small unit of our battalion ended up with essentially a little bungalow. We really were blessed with great accomodations.

Abandoned theater that we used for "Somali Nights" variety shows. The Chaplain, Bill M. and I brought our guitars, and we would sing songs, and encourage people to show off any talents they had...juggling, jokes, poetry (yeah, right...in a light infantry battalion?), etc.

One night, we played the "Jilib Bowl," the soccer stadium in town...
