Gist: Ethiopia is home to one of Africa’s biggest and oldest ancient walled-cities. Harar is one of them, as it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city was home to travelling poets and a trading hub between Ethiopian and the rest of the Horn Of Africa. Like every other city in the regions, the local crafts are a sight to see and buy. Moreover, if you get bored, you can always feed some uncaged hyenas!
