Gumbah (Template:Lang-so, Template:Lang-ar) is a populated place in the northeastern Bari region of Somalia. It is part of the Gumbax District.

Location

Gumbah is located on the northeastern coast of Somalia, facing the Indian Ocean. It lies 57 nautical miles (66 miles) south of Cape Guardafui and the entrance to the Gulf of Aden. The cape of Ras Binnah is situated 16 nm (18 miles) to the north, while the town Hafun is 30 nm (35 miles) to the south.

Administration

In April 2013, the Puntland government announced the creation of a new region coextensive with Gumbah and Cape Guardafui, named Gardafuul. Carved out of the Bari region, it consists of three districts and has its capital at Alula.
