Kal-Sheikh

Kal-Sheikh (Somali: Kal-Sheekh) is an archaeological site in the Sahil region of Somaliland.

Kal-Sheikh is situated in the Sheikh District.

The site features a number of caves adorned with rock art of animals[1] and other figures.

As no major archaeological excavation has been conducted here, the Kal-Sheikh paintings are of uncertain origin, purpose and date.

[2][3] The Kal-Sheikh city and district are inhabited by people from the Deerayahan and Reer Sahal sub-divisions of the Issa Musa sub-clan of the Habar Awal.
