Harar (or Harrar or Harer) is an eastern city in Ethiopia. The city is located on a hilltopat 1885 meters. For centuries, Harar has been a major commercial centre, linked by the trade routes with the rest of Ethiopia, the Horn of Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula. Harar Jugol has been listed in the World Heritage by UNESCO. It is "considered 'the fourth holy city' of Islam" with nearly 100 mosques, three of which date from the 10th century. Harar is also famous for its coffees. © Eric Lafforgue www.ericlafforgue.com

Note how the old city of Harar (Ethiopia) abrubtly ends with green fields starting immediately after its walls (at least at its east side). Harar (Ethiopia) is a magical place! See my Harar photo series. If you have only 12 days to finally visit Africa, you should perhaps focus on one place: let it be Harar, Ethiopia (July 2006). For centuries, until about 1860, it was an independent city at the borders of two different worlds: the Abbysinian mountains and the deserts stretching to the Red Sea coast. Trade and religious affairs (Muslim) must have alternated primacy during its history. As a holy city to Islam it feels as a surprisingly relaxed place. Tom Waits can not imagine the kind of dark yet exalted bars you find here at night. The size of the walled old city is at least half that of Jerusalem's old city. Most important the people are really open and the city is one of the world's few cities that within a few days demonstrate their very own distinct living atmosphere you'll never forget. (See also my friend Elmer's photos from this trip, where by change you can also see me on a photo.)

Bani is a small town on the way from Ouagadougou to Gorom-Gorom. It looks interesting, and has an interesting story. A series of seven fascinating mud-brick mosques are scattered around the town, several on hill tops, standing out against the sky as you approach. I was told the mosques are laid out in the same pattern as in Mecca, though I have not been able to confirm this. uit: www.voiceinthedesert.org.uk/keith/archives/2007/11/bani.html

Nuba is a collective term used here for the peoples who inhabit the Nuba Mountains, in Kordofan province, Sudan, Africa. Although the term is used to describe them as if they composed a single group, the Nuba are multiple distinct strains and use different forms of speech. Estimates of the Nuba population vary widely; the Sudanese government estimated that they numbered 1.1 million in 1993. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuba en:
