Description
The small town of Sheikh lies at a relatively lofty altitude of 1,470m in the Golis Range, a mountainous escarpment that separates the coastal plain from the main Somali Plateau. The town straddles the 120Km sufaced road that runs southeast from Berbera to Burao, and lies exactly halfway between these two larger towns. The ascent here from Berbera along the Sheikh pass folllows one of the most dramatic roads in Somaliland, starting from the village of Hudisa at the base of the Golis Range, then climbing some 700m over a 10km series of switchbacks that offer fantastic views of the plains below.
