4 Days tour in Harar Ethiopia Tour

Start your day with an early morning drive in Awash National Park, which is the prime time for spotting many mammal species. Following this, you'll continue your journey eastward to Harar, passing through arid acacia scrubland and the cooler, picturesque Chercher Mountains. Upon arrival in Harar, you'll stroll through the narrow, winding streets of the historic old town, admire the ancient city walls that have remained largely unchanged since their construction in the 1560s, and visit the vibrant Islamic market.

Spend a full day sightseeing in Harar. You'll visit various museums, including the Abdela Sherif Harari City Museum and the Arthur Rimbaud Museum. The Abdela Sherif Museum is located in the former palace of Ras Mekennen (father of Emperor Haile Selassie) and is believed to be where the young emperor spent much of his childhood. The museum features over 300 ancient manuscripts related to the city, along with a collection of 18th and 19th-century Harari coins, traditional costumes, household items, weapons, and musical instruments. The Arthur Rimbaud Museum showcases exhibitions about the poet’s life and includes photographs taken in Harar around 1900, illustrating how the city and its residents have evolved over the past century.

To conclude your trip, you will travel back from Harar to Addis Ababa, a journey that will take most of the day.
