Every step taken within the ancient walled city of Harar is a humbling experience. The Harari’s warm hospitality, their old-fashioned dynamic local market exchange, their taste for bright and vibrant colors and high regard for intellectual philosophy will leave any visitor fascinated. Walking between centuries-old, ancient, architectural structures and narrow alleys, visitors are quickly reminded that the city has refused to be defined only by its mesmerizing past. One of Harar’s present day attractions is the Hyena-man, a tourist attraction where a man feeds the hyenas in the evening. Kneeling right in front of their glowing eyes and feeding meat into the wide-open mouths of one of the most vicious wild animals is a unique experience to say the least.

Harar Ras Hotel, arguably the most well known in the Ethiopian hotel sector, has been, for decades, the landmark of the town. It has also longer history in customer service than most hotels in city. The legacy is still present with its Hararian charm (relaxed atmosphere) and attention from its service employees.
