Laas Geel contains rock shelters with paintings over 5,000 years old.
Laas Geel is a complex of rock shelters in Somaliland containing well-preserved Neolithic paintings estimated to date between 5,000 and 3,000 BCE. The artwork depicts cattle, humans, and wild animals in red, white, and ochre pigments, providing evidence of early pastoralist societies in the Horn of Africa. The site consists of multiple caves and overhangs spread across a rocky hillside, with some panels remaining relatively intact despite exposure to the elements. Access typically requires travel from Hargeisa and local guides, as the location is remote and not extensively developed for visitors.
