Harar - Ethiopia { 21 images } Created 23 May 2015

An ancient walled city sits in the hills of northeastern Ethiopia. Harar was the center of trade in Ethiopia for centuries, and for years only allowed muslims to enter. Now, the city boasts of peace between christians and muslims alike, and becomes the perfect vantage from which to view the past.
