"nile-fall-1024x576-600x400.jpg" As the only African country that has never been colonized, and still fighting off the remnant of colonialism (Neocolonialism, Neoimperialism, or Neolibralizem), Ethiopia remains true to itself and has managed to keep its colorful cultural identity. This is apparent through its historic fortresses, indigenous villages, and deep-seated traditions and customs that permeate the country. One visit to Ethiopia, and you’ll see what makes this country incredibly unique compared to the rest of the world.

Besides exploring Ethiopia’s rich history, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature. With rugged mountains, shimmering lakes, and even volcanic craters, there are plenty of things to do in Ethiopia in terms of natural beauty. Between the breathtaking landscapes and ancient cultural heritage, Ethiopia is guaranteed to be one of your most memorable trips.

10. Harar Jegol Wall

Regarded to as the fourth holiest city in Islam, the old city of Harar is home to an incredible 99 mosques and shrines, representing the 99 names of Allah known to man. It is believed that Sheikh Abadir Umar ar-Rida, the Arab Muslim cleric patron of the city of Harar, is responsible for the Islamic demographic of this ancient city. Dating back to the previous millennium, the beautiful city of Harar is one of the oldest cities in Ethiopia. Located on the border of the far eastern Somali region, this UNESCO World Heritage Site has a spiritual aura that will take you back to medieval times, having a very different feel to the rest of Ethiopia.

It all started in 1216, when the Sheikh traveled to Harar from the Arabian Peninsula, married a Harari woman, and constructed the city’s Jamia mosque. Known for its famous array of markets, the famous Hyena Men, ancient paintings, and artifacts spanning all cultures, it’s easy to get lost in the never-ending maze of the winding streets of Harar.

Believed to be built somewhere between the 13th and 16th century, this thick, 5 metre high and 3.5km long wall was built as a fortress surrounding the ancient city. This fascinating wall once had five gates: Shoa Gate, Buda Gate, Sanga Gate, Erer Gate and Fallana Gate, each providing five pathways into **five different quarters of the city. ** Still intact, the Jugol wall has become an icon of the city.
