Harar (walled city of Jugol, to be precise) is self proclaimed ‘fourth holiest Muslim city’ (After Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem). Although it may not be entirely true, some sources suggest that it may have the largest number of mosques, mausoleums and shrines per capita in the world. Its narrow alleys and traditional lifestyle still carries the original medieval feel.
По мнению местного населения Харар является четвертым по важности городом для мусульман. Скорее всего это не совсем правда, однако согласно некоторым источникам, в городе возможно самое большое в мире количество мечетей и мавзолеев, в пересчёте на душу населения.
