Geography
Country Ethiopia

The Ahmar Mountains is an average elevation of 2,965 metres (9,728 ft) above sea level and much of its territory is mountains and the ecology of this landform is semi-desert. The mountain is located approximately 11 km (7 mi) South of Dire Dawa (Ethiopia), 12 km (7 mi) from Jijiga by road.

History

This mountain was mentioned by the British explorer Richard F. Burton, whose party traveled along its northern base January 1854, on their way to Harar.

Climate

Elevation is the major factor in temperature levels, with the higher areas, on average, 10°C (17°F) cooler, day or night. The overnight lows are not like the "Garden of Eden" because heavy clothes or blankets are needed in the highlands, when the temperature drops to roughly 50–53 °F (10–12.2 °C) at night.
