As you drive approximately an hour to Harar, you will be able to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the surrounding mountains. After that, take a tour of Harar, where you will find narrow alleyways and colorful houses, as well as several historic landmarks, such as Harar Jugol, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In addition to the Hyena Man, who feeds hyenas by hand, other popular attractions include the Harar Museum, which features the city’s history and culture. Overnight in Harar at Ras Hotel or similar.

In Harar, Muslims, Christians, and indigenous traditions blend together to create a rich cultural heritage. When visiting mosques or other religious sites, visitors should respect local customs and dress modestly. Upon returning to Addis Ababa or before departing to Togwajale, the border crossing to Somaliland, you will visit local coffee shops since Harar is known for its coffee, which is considered some of the best in Ethiopia.
