Somali architecture does have a lot of middle eastern influence, this is especailly true of Zeila, xamar, Marka, Barawa each of these cities was on the coast and influence by trade and thus their architecture reflect it, even the Sayyid fortress in Talex was build with the help of Yemeni engineers

however historica sites away from the coast like the Ajurran capital at Kalufa or the City or Harar would have less arab influence and more indigenous

what do you guy think
