Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you are traveling by car, start from the center of Mogadishu. Head east on Airport Road (Jidka Garoonka) towards the city center. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Maka al-Mukarama Road. Turn left onto Maka al-Mukarama Road and continue for approximately 3 kilometers. Look for signs directing you towards Dagmada Wada Jir. The Hayat Hotel is located at the address 28J5+CX8, Mogadishu. You can use GPS coordinates (2.031027, 45.3099382) for precise navigation.
Public Transportation
For public transportation, you can take a minibus or shared taxi from the city center. Look for minibuses heading towards Wadajir or Wada Jir and board one that passes through Maka al-Mukarama Road. You will need to ask the driver to drop you off at the nearest stop to Dagmada Wada Jir. From there, it is about a 10-minute walk to Hayat Hotel (28J5+CX8, Mogadishu). Ensure you have some Somali Shillings (around 20,000-30,000 SOS) as fare for the minibus.
Taxi
