Harar is an amazing, unique city and one of the highlights of our five-month overland trip across Africa. It's full of life and we were lucky to experience it with no other tourists due to the Covid-19 crisis. It is a place where you discover something new around every corner. A guide can provide a great deal of context and history, as well as ensuring you don't miss the key sites; we were with Joel for two days who was fantastic. We saw numerous facets of the city, including the fascinating markets, hyena feeding, a coffee roastery, a blacksmith, some great local cafes and met some of Joel's friends. Joel was extremely knowledgeable and good company, and charged a fair price unlike some of the other guides we asked. His details are 0909623864 and [email protected].

Simple museum with a great collection of artifacts for you to learn about the history of Harar. Highly recommended. There is also a small souvenir shop to the left of the building where some ladies make jewelry for donations to the orphanage.

If you choose to visit Harar, you should stop at this museum. It has very interesting artifacts not only from Harar, but from all of Ethiopia. The guide was very knowledgeable and speaks English very well.

My visit to the city Harar was on Friday and luckily we had a chance to perform Friday Pray in there. During Friday pray, the road with be packed with people, so no cars can move. An amazing and old mosque, one out of 82 mosques in the walled city called Jogol. The biggest in Harar. We met with Turkish School Principal and others.
