With a population of 33,686 inhabitants,[1] Garowe is the third largest city in Puntland after Bosaso and Gaalkacyo. It is located in the geographical center of the region.
Garowe is transversed by the north-south Somali highway, which connects major cities in the northern part of the country with cities in the south.

The city is home to many Somalis from the Harti confederation of Darod clans, especially the Majeerteen Ciise Mahamoud And Cumar Mahamoud.
