I am happy to present to you the REAL land of punt. The land of punt is known for 'frankincense' this was what the Egyptians traded with this territory. So in order to be deemed the land of punt, your territory needs to be known for large supplies of frankincense and 'good quality' of course. But as usual Somalis love to claim a history that isn't theirs.
Berbera-Djibouti-Sanaag were not the traditional territories of Frankincense. The best grade and quantity of frankincense came from the Gardufu Area. You can see this demonstrated in the Periphlus of the Erythaean Sea.
Below is the location of 'port cities' in the map. The Avalites is 'ASSAB' Eritrea. Malao Is Djibouti. Mundus is Berbera. Moslyon Is Bosaso. After that begins the Cape of spice Market Places which were primarily Gardafu, Hafun, Bayla, Eyl, Garacad.
I say Nugaal-Mudug was involved because all the coastal cities he visited in Somalia he noted they had natural harbors but he says the 'south' of Somalia coast-line has no natural harbor to dock ships. So the key defining feature of Puntland Ports is they have natural 'islands' like Hafun and Natural 'harbours'. So a-lot of the towns he mentioned on the Indian ocean was Primarily based in Puntland. Even Hobyo I don't think has a natural Harbor.

. Sailing along the coast beyond Mosyllum, after
a two days' course you come to the so-called Little Nile
River, and a fine spring, and a small laurel-grove, and
Cape Elephant. Then the shore recedes into a bay,
and has a river, called Elephant, and a large laurel-
grove called Acanna; ; where alone is produced the far-
side frankincense, in great quantity and of the best grade.
