SOOOO DIFFICULT! Had no clue that finding a bus from Adama to Dire Dawa would be such a challenge. I expected this to be easy. Go to bus station, pick a bus company, buy a ticket. But NO! Turns out that there is NO proper long distance bus station! Here is my adventure and the difficulties I'm facing as a tourist trying to travel by bus from Adama to Dire Dawa in Ethiopia.

Looking for the best hotel in Dire Dawa! Arrived by bus in Dire Dawa from Adama. Not an easy ride, but hey I made it! Finding a good hotel in Dire Dawa is challenging as there is not that much choice with good reviews. Many mixed reviews and no hotel able to book online. None of the hotels are on the famous hotel booking websites. I ended up checking checking into a simple but decent hotel for $20 USD per night. #Ethiopia #DireDawa #travelblogger | Traveltomtom
