Mareero Beach, Xeebta Marero is a beach located (25 kilometres (16 mi) east of Bosaso. It possesses coastal habitat, frankincense and other myrrh groups growing plateau, grazing areas, sizeable beach and most importantly the mareero natural harbour, which is deep enough to provide anchorage.[1] The mareero harbour became an illegal immigration route between Somalia and Yemen and the Arab peninsula generally since the collapse of the Somali central government in early 1991. The harbour was formerly used by Somali business communities for export and import of goods for centuries. According to reports, boats carrying arms smuggled from Yemen have been docked at the Marero harbour.[2][3]
