    Once overlooked, Somalia is quickly emerging as an unexpected hotspot for digital nomads and remote workers.

    With improved infrastructure, rising safety in major cities, and a surprisingly affordable cost of living, the East African nation is catching the attention of adventurous freelancers and tech entrepreneurs alike.

    Top 5 Cities in Somalia for Digital Nomads in 2025

    In 2024 alone, Somalia saw a 35% increase in foreign freelancers applying for long-stay business visas, according to the Somali Ministry of Commerce.

    “I wanted something different from Bali or Lisbon,” says Mia Gonzalez, a UX designer from Spain.

    “Mogadishu is vibrant, affordable, and has a unique energy. Plus, the internet speed is better than I expected.”

    As Somalia opens up to the world, digital nomads are discovering cities that offer affordability, untapped opportunity, and cultural depth.

    Whether you’re a freelancer, remote entrepreneur, or creative looking for a new base, here are the top 5 cities in Somalia that should be on your radar:

    1. Mogadishu – The Reawakening Capital

    Despite its complex past, Mogadishu is undergoing rapid transformation.
    With new tech hubs, co-working spaces, beachfront cafes, and a growing startup culture, it’s becoming Somalia’s answer to Nairobi.

    Internet access is solid in central areas, and the local business scene is buzzing with energy.

    Nomad Tip: Stay in secure zones like the airport corridor or the Maka al-Mukarama Road area.

    2. Hargeisa – Safe, Stable, and Startup-Friendly

    Located in the self-declared Republic of Somaliland, Hargeisa is the most stable city in Somalia and a favorite among NGO workers and remote professionals.

    It’s calm, internet is reliable, and locals are known for their hospitality.

    Nomad Tip: Great for long-term stays if you’re working on humanitarian or development projects.

    3. Kismayo – The Coastal Calm

    Located on the Indian Ocean, Kismayo is a peaceful port city gaining attention for its relaxed vibe.
    It’s not yet a digital nomad hub, but its scenic beaches, fresh seafood, and low costs make it attractive for creatives or anyone needing quiet inspiration.

    Nomad Tip: Ideal for short-term retreats or remote work sprints.

    4. Baidoa – Emerging Community and Education Hub

    Known for its universities and educational institutes, Baidoa is evolving into a smart city.
    The presence of students and teachers creates a learning-friendly environment, and infrastructure is improving steadily.

    Nomad Tip: Join local educational forums to connect with young, educated locals.

    5. Garowe – A Center of Governance and Ideas

    As the capital of Puntland, Garowe has political significance but also a growing civil society.
    Internet is improving, local media is vibrant, and there are chances to engage in public policy or media-related work.

    Nomad Tip: Connect with local NGOs or journalism circles for short-term project opportunities.

    Somalia may not yet rival traditional digital nomads destinations—but for those seeking raw potential, purpose-driven travel, and untapped markets, these cities offer something rare.

    Digital nomads living in Somalia is no longer a wild idea. It’s a growing reality.
