Exalted pilgrims of Sheik Hussein.
From all parts of the Horn of Africa,they are thousands to converge every year, towards the mausoleum of Sheik Hussein.In the heart of the Ethiopian highlands,a unique partition of the mysteries of faith takes place on some days, in a secret held date. To honor the memory of a soufi saint, ancient pagan faiths re-appear in a very strange mixity of Islam and Christendom.

Harar, the revealed citadel.
Muslim wedge situated in the very Christian country that is Ethiopia, the Harar city has closed itself from the outside world for a thousand years.Trade exchanges with the Arabic Peninsula are over, and Harar is no longer well known as a dynamic Muslim teaching centre. The « jewel ofthe horn of Africa » keeps its treasures secret.
Those who will want to explore the Harar region will need boldness,tenacity and patience.
