Harar is a walled city in the coffee-growing highlands of eastern Ethiopia, considered the fourth-holiest city in Islam. Its 16th-century Jugol wall encloses 110 mosques and a labyrinth of narrow alleys where no cars enter. Arthur Rimbaud lived here as a coffee trader in the 1880s, one of the first Europeans to export Harari coffee. The city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006, but inside its walls little appears to have changed.
