Welcome to DireDawa
Dire Dawa looks strikingly different to the rest of Ethiopia.
The arid landscape extends out in all directions, the blistering heat distorting the air above the horizon. A sea of colour emerges on the approach, the houses painted in reds, blues, and greens.
Kafira market
known for its vast size and bazaar-like atmosphere, is a real treat for the senses.
Have some ‘Khat‘
A big cash crop for Ethiopians and is grown in abundance around the hills of Dire Dawa.
Visit the Ethiopia-Djibouti Rail yard
Considered the birthplace of the city, the Ethio-Djibouti Railyard is a century-old station and workshop.
Get lost in the Kafira Market
