Ibn Majid's notes on El-Sheikh, Berbera, and Siyara

El-Sheikh was also known historically as Buurta Almis or جبل ألمس Jebel Amis after the nearby Mount Almis just south of the settlement. It was a well known landmark to navigators and legendary Arab explorer Ahmad ibn Mājid wrote of El-Sheikh and a few other notable landmarks and ports of the northern Somali coast, including Berbera, Siyara, the Sa'ad ad-Din islands aka the Zeila Archipelago near Zeila, Alula, Maydh, Ruguda, Heis and El-Darad.[5] Richard Burton visited the settlement and noted the mountain in his map.[6]

Demographics

The Jibril Abokor and Makahiil sub divisions of the Sa'ad Musa subclan of the Habar Awal Isaaq dominate Ceel-Sheekh and its environs.[7]
