The city full of hyenas at night, but was named the world's best tourist destination

The city full of hyenas at night, but was named the world's best tourist destination

National Geographic recently announced the world's best destinations, and one in particular is an East African city, Harlel.

Harlel is the capital of Ethiopia's Hararghe Province, which National Geographic rated as the most stunning city and fascinating yet contradictory place in East Africa.

It must be said that this small, not-so-famous Ethiopian city has an unusual status and charm throughout Africa.

It is the fourth holy city of Islam, with 82 large and small mosques and 102 holy places, making it an extraordinary religious city.

At the same time, Harar has been the main commercial center of Ethiopia for centuries, with trade routes spreading all over Ethiopia and even to the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

In addition, the ancient city of Harar has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List because of its long history.

Another very special thing about Haleel is that every night, hyenas roam around the city in packs. Since it has always been the custom of the locals to feed the hyenas, you will see an amazing scene of the beasts and people living in harmony here.

The most famous food in Haleel is coffee, which is made through a unique local natural process and is known as the "Wild Rose", and not only does every hotel or restaurant have a special place to make coffee, but there are also a series of ceremonies.

If you want to go, you can choose to go from June to September every year, this time belongs to the rainy season, the countryside is very attractive.

As a major shipping hub in Africa, there are many international routes to Ethiopia, and there are also many domestic routes to these major cities.
