Morning Drive from Harar to Babile Camel Market and Valley of Marvels. Ba bile is the largest Camel Market in the region . It happens every Monday and Thursday.
Somali and Oromo farmers will walk to Babile to sell their Camels, Goats, and cattle. We will also drive further to the Valley of Marvels. It has wonderful landscapes, famous for its balancing rock formations. It is amazing to see how a big stone balances and stays on the tip of a single stone.
If It is not happen to be on a Market Day and not worth visiting Babile On your way back to Dire Dawa you will visit Koremi. Koremi is a village older than Harar itself. Its houses are built of stone in a very old style that may show the ancient architecture of the area.
The People is a Koremi plant, a mild Narcotic plant called chat and coffee.
