    Location of these pictures is North Eastern Somalia, the Horn tip of Africa.

    The area was very arid, but I was surprised to see these very large and old trees growing in the desert without any irrigation and sparse rainfall.

    I'd really like to know.

    Thanks in advance!

    Is it a Neem tree? (Azadirachta indica)
