Dinsoor (Somali: Diinsoor) is a town in the southwestern Bay region of Somalia.[1]
[edit] Overveiw
It was founded in 1805, when a group of nomads constructed a water well near a mountain area called Bug. It is the fourth largest city in the Bay province.
Dinsoor has one local airport called Mecca Boqol. The city also serves as a centre for business and trade in the region, and is the only district in Bay which shares borders with all of the districts in the region.
