Off The Beaten Path: Coffee factory
  • Tip Rating:
  • Ethiopian coffee is world known and some say Harar produces some of the best coffee here. My guide took me to a coffee factory. It was small, almost familiar, a little room so full of smells and flavours. They were roasting coffee in a traditional oven and packing it manually in paper packagings. I should have bought some, but somehow I prefer to leave all those souvenirs for the last day, to save me from carrying too much weight all the journey around.

    Off The Beaten Path: Sewing machines
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • As you wander around the old town you will find different streets for different professions. A strrt for carpenters, another for metal workers... in the pic you can see the street of tailors, all lined up with their sewing machines.
