  • The location of Laas Geel provokes a real sense of "stepping back in time". Seeing the cave/rock artwork of our ancestors makes one realise that, in the bigger picture, 10000 years is nothing at all.

  • Very impressive. Very emotional place when you think how talented people were even 10000 years ago.😊

  • This place doesn't get enough publicity, which would also generate more income so it can be cared for properly. The paintings are stunning.
