Lawyacado
Awdal, Somalia
Why visit Lawyacado?
Lawyacado is a small settlement in the Awdal region of Somaliland, sitting directly on the border with Djibouti (whose town of Loyada faces it across the line — the two names are variants of the same Afar-origin word). It functions as a border crossing and livestock market, alongside Zeila and Lawaya-Adde, more than as a coastal resort.
