   • Visit Harari’s colourful house and local market.
   • One of Harar's best experiences is seeing the hyena man. He is a man who tames wild Hyenas. He is usually found at his place after 6:30 AM. He feeds Meat to the wild hyenas every night. 
   • Sometimes, a Hyena comes to Grab by holding meat in his mouth. The Hyenas obey him and will not come unless he calls them by their names. It is a nice experience to feed the Hyena; many do it, and you may also feed them some meat mouth-to-mouth.

2. Day 2: Harar to Babile and return to Addis Ababa

   • Morning Drive from Harar to Babile Camel Market and Valley of Marvels. Babile is the largest Camel Market in the region. It happens every Monday and Thursday. Somali and Oromo farmers walk to Babile to sell their Camels, Goats, and cattle. 
   • We will also drive further to the Valley of Marvels. It has beautiful landscapes and is famous for its balancing rock formations. It is amazing to see how a big stone balances and stays on the tip of a single stone.
   • If it does not happen to be on a Market Day, it is not worth visiting Babile. 
   • On your way back to Diredawa, you will visit Korea. Koremi is a village older than Harar itself. Its houses are built of stone in an ancient style that may show the area's ancient architecture. The People of Koremi plant a mild Narcotic plant called Qat and coffee.
   • Drive back to Diredawa airport to fly back to Addis.
