Help that tells you the truth

Choose what fits your situation. We will tell you plainly what we can do, what happens next and where the limits are.

What do you need?

General help

Questions about bookings, stays, guides, culture or getting around.

What happens next

Wi-Fi, electricity, food, a room, a payment or a provider.

What we cannot do

A safety concern

Something worrying that is not happening right now.

What happens next

  1. 1The report is handled with restricted access
  2. 2We share only what is necessary, through an approved process
  3. 3We never share your location unless you choose to

What we cannot do

Right now, in danger

You or someone near you needs urgent help.

What happens next

  1. 1Contact the official emergency services directly
  2. 2Move to a safe place if you can

What we cannot do

  • Virtual Harar is not an emergency dispatch service and cannot send help

Official emergency numbers
