It is bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Ethiopia to the west, and Kenya to the southwest, with coastlines along the Gulf of Aden to the north and the Indian Ocean to the east and south.
Somalia’s terrain includes arid plains, plateaus, and some highlands in the north, with a generally dry climate. The country’s long coastline has historically made it an important center for maritime trade and cultural exchange between Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
