Las Khorey

Las Khorey lies on the Gulf of Aden below the mountains of the Maakhir coast. The town became associated with the Warsangali sultanate, whose rulers held authority among communities of the coast and the Cal Madow highlands. Local tradition dates the building of a mosque here to 1735. From the harbour, merchants maintained links across the gulf and farther afield, carrying the products of the Somali interior to overseas markets.
