Walking
If you are starting from the Dire Dawa Railway Station, exit the station and head east on the main road (Bole Road) towards the city center. Continue straight for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with the main road leading to the university. Turn left onto this road and walk straight for about 700 meters. You will see Ali Birra Park on your right, just past a small local market.
Public Transport (Bajaj)
If you're near the Dire Dawa Mosque, you can take a Bajaj (three-wheeled taxi) to Ali Birra Park. Simply tell the driver 'Ali Birra Park' or point to it on your phone if you have the location saved. The ride should take about 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic, and will cost around 15-20 Ethiopian Birr. The driver will drop you off at the entrance of the park.
Walking from the City Center
From the city center (near the main market), walk towards the main road and head east. Follow the road for about 1 kilometer until you reach the junction of the road leading to the university. Turn right and continue straight for another 500 meters. Ali Birra Park will be on your left side, marked by a sign at the entrance.
