Introducing Burcao (Burao)
The second-largest city in the country and the capital of Todgheer province, Burcao feels a bit rougher around the edges than Berbera or Hargeisa, but that’s part of its appeal. There’s nothing of tangible interest here, but you can soak up the atmosphere at the livestock market and enjoy being the focus of attention – you’ll be somewhat of a novelty here!

You’ll find internet and telephone outlets, as well as bureaux de change in the centre.
