"It is important to be aware of cultural norms when visiting Somalia. It is important to dress modestly and to respect local customs. Avoid public displays of affection, as this is considered inappropriate in Somali culture. It is also important to be aware of religious customs, such as avoiding eating pork or drinking alcohol in public. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of elders and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion," explained one expat living in Somalia.
