or HARAR, a large commercial town of Eastern Africa, said to be about 192 miles E. of Ankobar, and 150 S.S.W. of Zeyla. It is surrounded by a mud-and-stone wall, 12 feet high and 3 feet thick, and is about two hours quiet walking in circumference. The wall is in good repair, and has five gates. There are many large and well-built houses of mud and stone, but the majority of the people live in huts made of mats and reeds, with a thorn fence round them. The soil in the vicinity is very rich, producing coffee, wheat, barley, jowarie, &c., in great profusion. Coffee is the most important export. The seaport is Zeyla. The inhabitants are rigid Mohammedans, and Christians are strictly prohibited from entering the town. (London Geographical Journal, vols. xviii., xix., &c.)
