Author: Radio Islam March 16, 2026 Duration: 19:36
Join us as we journey to Harar, one of the most remarkable historic cities of the Horn of Africa. Perched on a plateau about 500 km east of Addis Ababa, this walled city grew into a major Muslim centre by the late medieval period and later served as the capital of the Adal Sultanate during the dramatic campaigns of Sheikh Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi. Wander with us through Harar’s maze of narrow alleys and vibrant markets, discover why it is famed for having one of the largest concentrations of mosques in the world, and explore traditions that still animate the city today—from its enduring scholarly heritage to the famous nightly ritual of the “Hyena Man.” Harar cannot be reduced to a relic of the past—it remains a living city where centuries of Islamic history continue to breathe through its streets
