Despite the constant threat of terror attacks, kidnapping and murder, the most daring tourists are queuing to explore bustling markets and idyllic beaches in one of the most volatile cities in the world.
US tourist Mike Ogden, 22, is one of a handful who have paid £900 to spend 48 hours in Mogadishu, Somalia (excluding airfare), where he was outnumbered by heavily-armed security guards who were assigned to protect him at all times.
He frequently encountered people who were openly carrying firearms on the streets, experienced a few nerve-wracking moments after his car broke down, and flew out of the capital’s airport while authorities raced to thwart a bomb plot.
