This region is located in the Southeast, towards the territory of the proud Afar tribes, whose members you will meet along the road with their camel caravans, and in the lovely colorful marketplaces. The Awash National Park, where the Awash River runs through a spectacular gorge-- this is one of the rivers of Ethiopia, which never flows into the sea. Here, 400 bird species have been detected as well as several varieties of endemic mammals. Harar, ancient Islamic center founded in the 12 century A.D., with its 88 mosques, for a long time was the most important market town of the Horn of Africa. Arthur Rimbaud lived here from 1880 until his death, in the house of a rich Indian trader. Harar, city of spices, famous for the beauty of the Aderé women, today is one of the largest markets of Chiat (leaves of a bush that give a stimulating effect when chewed). The huge pastures and the wheat fields towards the Bale Mountains are incredibly green in September and October. The Bale National Park contains the second highest mountain of Ethiopia: alpine landscapes, the 4000-meter-high Senati highlands, where giant lobelias grow among dark blue lakes.
