4. Furi: The Western Shield

4. Furi: The Western Shield

Looming over the southwestern outskirts of the city is Furi. It is the mountain most intimately tied to the daily rhythm of Addis; its slopes are dotted with the homes of those who live on the city’s edge. For hikers, Furi offers a steep, rewarding challenge. The summit provides a panoramic view of the city’s expansion, where the concrete jungle meets the golden wheat fields of the Oromia region. It is the mountain of transition, bridging the urban density and the rural wilderness.
