Dhagax kure/ khuure, Somaliland
Dhagax Kure Situated 45km northwest of Hargeisa and lies about two Hours drive from Hargeisa the paintings are morethan 5000 years old.
It comprises several individual painted shelters scattered on a rocky hill. The main shelter has an inclined ceiling which is decorated with an assemblage of bovid figures as well as one giraffe and one anthropomorphic figure. The second most important shelter, which lies at the base of the granite outcrop, is adorned with panels representing sheep (or goats) and a few human figures holding a bow. The colours and the complexity of the paintings are much less striking than those at Las Geel, but they’re interesting nonetheless. The eerie landscape is another draw.
