Gelweita (Somali: Geel Wayta), also known as Las Galwayta or Galwayta is an archaeological site and a key rock art site in the eastern Sanaag region of Somaliland inhabited by Gadhwayn- Muuse Ismail subclan of the large Habaryoonis clan.

[2] The site dates back thousands of years and is evidence of an earlier stone-age culture that inhabited the area.

[3][4] John Hanning Speke, an English explorer who made an exploratory expedition to the area in an attempt to reach the Nugaal Valley, described the site:[5] The harbours are, generally speaking, open and shallow road-steads, where ships find no protection; there is, however, one place (Las Galwayta), where, it is said, deep water extends to the shore.

The animals observed were, the Waraba, a darkcoloured cynhyena, with a tail partly white, a grey jackal, and three different kinds of antelopes.

Besides gulls, butcher birds, and a description of sparrow, no birds were found on the Maritime Plain.He also remarked the favourable position that Gelweita lies in for a potential Somali settlement, however the tense relations between the Habr Gerhajis and the Warsangali, the Habr Gerhajis being the proprietors of the area, along with the Warsangali's lack of manpower made that impossible.
