Located in eastern Ethiopia, Harar Jugol is the fourth holiest city in Islam and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With over 82 mosques, 100 shrines, and a maze of narrow alleyways within its ancient city walls, Harar is a living museum of Islamic and Ethiopian culture. This walled city was once a vital trading post that connected Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The colorful homes, bustling spice markets, and warm-hearted people offer a rich cultural experience. Harar is also home to the unique tradition of hyena feeding, where locals feed wild hyenas by hand at the edge of the city — a practice believed to have spiritual roots dating back centuries.
Nestled between the cliffs of the Eastern Highlands and the lowlands of the Afar region, Dire Dawa is Ethiopia’s second-largest city and a fascinating cultural melting pot. Unlike most Ethiopian cities that grew from ancient kingdoms, Dire Dawa was born from modern innovation a colonial-era railway town built in the early 20th century as a key stop on the historic Djibouti–Addis Ababa Railway.
This city carries a unique blend of French, Italian, Harari, Somali, and Oromo influences, visible in its architecture, cuisine, and street life. Strolling through the city feels like stepping into a time capsule with colonial villas, wide boulevards, and old train carriages resting in quiet dignity.
