Hara Gebeya ( Amharic: ሃራ ገበያ, "Hara Market") or Hara is a town in north-eastern Ethiopia. [1] It is located in Guba Lafto woreda in the Amhara Region. It is situated at an altitude of 1520 metres. [2] In 2019, it had a population of 28,096. [1]
In 2019, the town had a population of 28,906, comprising 14,188 males and 13,908 females. According to a 2017 survey, 86.1% of population was Muslim, while 13.9% was Ethiopian Orthodox. [1] 69.4% of the population was illterate, while 14.6% of the population had at most a primary education and 3.1% attained secondary education or higher.

Hara Gebeya is planned to become a major junction in Ethiopia's national railway network. It will receive a railway station in one of the new standard gauge railways connecting Addis Ababa with a port at Djibouti. [3] It is the terminus of the Awash–Weldiya Railway and starting point of the Weldiya–Mekelle Railway, both of which will, despite their names, bypass Weldiya entirely. [4] It will also be the starting point of the proposed Hara-Gebeya- Asaita- Tadjoura railway.
