Sahafi Hotel – The Luxury Hotel In Mogadishu

Location:

Mogadishu Somalia Africa
War

You cannot come across the word Mogadishu without the pre-modifying clause, 'the most dangerous city in the world.' And fair enough, most luxury hotels do not come with an increased risk of death and kidnap. However, there have only been two major incidents involving guests of the Hotel Sahafi in Mogadishu, which, for a warzisn'tisn’t that bad.

The Sahafi Hotel is one of the more popular hotels in Mogadishu. It is the hotel of choice for journalists, UN workers, and the city's foreign visitors. Staff will give you a warm welcome, and you can choose a room from four floors of mostly empty rooms. There is air conditioning throughout, which is impressive considering that fuel and electricity are luxury goods in Mogadishu.

The restaurant serves three meals a day and serves an excellent lamb chop. To visit Mogadishu, you must first convince customs of your sanity. But if you can do that, Sahafi is a good hotel.
