Ethiopian City Guides: Dire Dawa

Located between Addis Ababa and Djibouti, Dire Dawa incarnates the regional epic of the railway industry in Eastern Ethiopia. Since more than a century, the city bridges Ethiopian highlands, Europe and the Middle East. Rooted in rich cultural legacies, the historical neighbourhoods of Dire Dawa value the hospitality of these lowlands below the fertile plateau of Harar.
