Coincidentally, the same can be said about Somalia’s Shanghai Old City in terms of their commercial growth. Still located in Mogadishu, this is the only place that can offer the standard luxury that some wealthy tourists could enjoy. Warlords used to control this area and owned much of the businesses around it. Shanghai Old City is defiant of the low expectations the world has for Somalia and may become the foundation of its rising tourism industry in the foreseeable future.
