Explore the soul of Harar, one of Africa’s oldest and most sacred cities. For over a millennium, Harar has served as a beacon of Islamic learning and a cultural crossroads in the Horn of Africa. Known as the "City of Saints," it is a place where ancient walls protect a way of life that has remained vibrant for centuries.
In this video, we journey inside Harar Jugol, the fortified historic town and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 16th century, these walls enclose 82 mosques and over 100 shrines, making it the fourth holiest city in Islam.
