Standing on the eastern wall of the Great Rift Valley, Harar’s location gives wonderful views of the surrounding country; with the vast Danakil desert to the north, the fertile Harar Mountains to the west, and the cattle rich Ogaden plains to the south. Here you will discover a uniquely different Ethiopia in this sacred Muslem city, of mosques, minarets, and markets. A centre of Muslim learning, a city which once struck its own local currency, and still has its own unique language; has long been regarded by the outside world as a city of mystery and romance.
