Discover Harar

Take a city tour of a traditional Harari house inside the Jugol wall, along with visits to the Catholic church and the city museum. The Harar Gate, though a more recent addition, serves as the main entrance to the city's historic center. Harar Jugol is home to 82 mosques—three dating back to the 10th century—along with 102 shrines and a mix of traditional, Indian, and blended architectural styles. These distinctive townhouses, with their unique interior designs, are an important part of Harar's cultural heritage. In the evening, experience the tradition of hyena feeding, where locals offer food to wild hyenas just outside the city.
