About Harar for Solo Travelers
One of Islam's four holiest cities, where hyenas are fed by hand at dusk and 82 mosques pack an ancient walled city — Harar is one of Africa's most extraordinary solo detours.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Harar is one of Islam's holiest cities and a deeply authentic solo travel experience — the walled old city (Jugol) is a UNESCO site that solo travelers can walk with a guide hired at the gate. The famous hyena feeding at dusk is genuinely wild and best witnessed through a local "hyena man" contact. Dress respectfully, especially women. Harar's coffee is considered the origin of the word "coffee" itself.
