Dire Dawa by train


Dire Dawa by train

Dire-Dawa is the only Major city connected to Ethiopia's capital by train. You can get in to Dire-Dawa from Djibouty City or Addis-Ababa using train. Make reservations. WARNING The train no longer runs on the Addis-Dire Dawa part, until otherwise informed. Reservations are quite useless, not to say nonexistent, better get to the station a few hours before the (alleged) departure time and be ready to fight for your seat or even, if need be, to tip a railway worker to get a good one. The 300 km / 16 to 30 hours trip can be fun (for those who enjoy rough travel conditions), although always exhausting. The locomotive, as well as the track, want fixing, so breakdowns and accidents are not unusual.
