Garoowe
Garoowe serves as the capital of Puntland, the autonomous region in northeastern Somalia, and sits at a strategic road junction where routes branch toward Laascaanood in the north, Boosaaso on the coast, and Gaalkacyo to the south. The town lies within reach of both mountains and water, and its position as a regional hub makes it a practical base for travellers moving through Puntland.
