Harar
Afdera
Afdera is a town in the Afar Region of Ethiopia, known for its salt lake, Lake Afdera. The area is part of the Danakil Depression, one of the hottest and most geologically active places on Earth. Lake Afdera is a major source of salt production, and traditional salt mining is a significant economic activity in the region.
The Afar people, who inhabit the area, have a long history of salt trading, transporting slabs of salt (known as amole) across Ethiopia. The region also has geothermal activity, with hot springs and volcanic formations nearby.
Konso
Dallol Depression
Dallol is a rising tourist destination, attracting adventure travelers, geologists, and photographers due to its unique landscapes. However, tourism is challenging due to extreme temperatures and remoteness.
Given your interest in tourism promotion and investment in Tigray, would you like ideas on how to develop tourism projects around Dallol?
Key Features of Dallol:
- Extreme Heat – It holds the record for the highest average annual temperature for an inhabited place (about 34–35°C / 93–95°F).
- Colorful Hydrothermal Springs – The Dallol Hydrothermal Field features acidic hot springs with vibrant green, yellow, and orange colors due to sulfur, iron, and other minerals.
- Salt Formations – Large salt plains, including towering salt formations and salt lakes, are found in the region.
- Volcanic Activity – The Dallol Volcano is a low volcanic dome that erupted in the early 20th century.
- Hostile Environment – The highly acidic and saline waters make it one of the least hospitable places on Earth, even for microbes.
- Salt Trade – Traditional salt mining still occurs, with Afar people cutting salt slabs (amole) and transporting them via camel caravans.
