A journey that retraces the trade routes of qat, the powerful natural amphetamine chewed throughout the Horn of Africa as a source of inspiration, social glue and “mind-cleanser”. This more or less licit trade radiates from the fascinating Harar, the “forbidden city” with its picturesque alleyways scented with coffee and spices, and crosses green valleys, sulphurous deserts, salt lakes and rugged volcanic ridges to reach the spectacular coast of Djibouti.
In the eastern highlands, there is an ancient legend that qat was born from a drop of the elixir of life. Chewing these miraculous leaves is part of the tradition and is a custom throughout the region. Following its trade routes, we will visit the beautiful Harar, one of Ethiopia’s most surprising cities, with its fortified walls, numerous mosques and lively markets, until we reach Djibouti, a small country with a wide variety of environments, including verdant slopes, hard-to-forget moonscapes and white beaches with unspoilt seabed.
