Résumé en anglais

Harar is one of the most romantic and colourful cities in Ethiopia. It lies in the southeast hills on the edges of the desert that stretches all the way to the Gulf of Aden. The city, with its walls, red buildings and lime-washed shrines has been attracting explorers and adventurers for many years.
