VISITING THE 5 UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE GATES IN HARAR | ETHIOPIA VLOG |

I did a tour of the walls of Harar and visited the 5 gates that were originally built to protect the people of the city and to stop non-Muslims from entering the city. I've never walked around the wall like this before - it felt so surreal being on the outside of the wall and imaging what it would have been like in the historic times. I also visited the Sherif Museum to learn more about Harar and the Harari culture.
As soon as I realised that EID would fall during the summer, I knew that I just HAD to visit Harar during that time. When I visited in 2012, I celebrated Eid ul Fitr in Harar and it was (and still is) one of the best experiences of my life. I just HAD to return. So, I did. And it did not disappoint. I love the community feel of praying all together, and the family orientated day.

I love how Ethiopia has really kept its culture intact,i think that's one of the advantages of being a closed off society for such a long time.The fact that the culture is not only so rich but still so present mashallah!Its quite unlike Kenya where there's lots of outside influences but anyway looove ur content!!!

[@DrAminaYonis]

Thank you, and yes, exactly. For a long time, only Harari's (and few others) were allowed in Harar and this really helped to preserve its culture.

A Salam walakcum my sister in Allah, my husband is Ethiopian and I know it’s different traditions for different clans but I get so excited when I see other people’s way of doing things according to their cultures, I really enjoy watching your videos, through your channel I have learned so much it makes me want to become a better Muslim each day, I am a revert and I am on the path of learning, may Allah bless and reward you for all your efforts , I pray to have a friend like you one day insha Allah.

He was the highest Shariah Judge at his time - had a lot of influence in the way the courts ran. He also owned the first three story home in Harar.
