A breezy Rift Valley city on the shore of Lake Awasa, popular with Ethiopian weekenders for its lakeside promenade and fish market. Marabou storks and colobus monkeys share the waterfront with early-morning joggers. The dawn fish auction, where fishermen paddle in with the night's catch, is the city's defining scene.
