About Dire Dawa

Dire Dawa, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 offers a laid-back, affordable base for digital nomads looking for a less touristy city. It has warm weather, a unique cultural mix, and a slower pace of life. ☀️🏙️ Internet can be inconsistent, so it’s best for remote workers who are flexible and don’t need constant high-speed connectivity.
