Mindful meoweler tips

Baidoa is a city of contrasts

The city is home to beautiful mosques and hotels, while also being a hub for the country's agricultural industry. Cats should experience both sides of the city!

Dress conservatively

Somalia is a conservative country where it is important to dress modestly, especially when visiting a religious site. Cats should avoid clothing that is too revealing or flashy.

Try the traditional Somali tea

The country is known for its delicious spiced tea, made with black tea, milk, and an array of spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. Cats should not leave Baidoa without trying this local delicacy!
