Berahle (also transliterated Barahle and Berahile) is a town in north-eastern Ethiopia. Located in Kilbet Rasu, Afar Region, this town has a latitude and longitude of 13°51′N40°01′E / 13.850°N 40.017°E / 13.850; 40.017 with an altitude of 639 meters above sea level. It is the largest town in Berhale woreda.
Philip Briggs describes this town as an "unexpectedly large and attractive town, set in a valley below stark twin peaks", which although "neither truly of the highlands nor truly of the desert" Berhale, "with its combination of typically Tigrayan stone houses and more austere Afar huts...is an agreeable point of transition between the two natural realms."[1] This town was reported as having phone service by 2004;[2] electrical service was introduced in September 2006, when the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation installed a 120 kilowatt generator, street lights, and 200 electric meters. At the time, electrical service was provided from 6 pm to midnight.[3]
