Rock Art Sites of Somaliland: 3D, Virtual Reality (VR) and Multimedia Community Capacity Building and Documentation of Laas Geel, Nagah Nabi Galay and Dhagah Kureh
The complex cave and rock shelters of Laas Geel, Dhagah Kureh, and Dhagah Nabi Galay lie just 30-45 minutes outside of Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, a self-declared republic and autonomous region of Somalia. Exhibiting outstanding Neolithic rock art, the sites’ cave paints are considered to be some of the best preserved rock paintings in all of Africa, and are essential to the Horn of Africa’s historical and heritage legacy.
