Ethiopia

Ethiopia is one of Africa’s most eclectic countries, known as the birthplace of coffee, and a place of ancient, religious history, beautiful landscapes, and diverse wildlife.

Highlights

  • Explore Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital and cultural hub, with native art exhibits, traditional crafts, prehistoric fossils, and the Addis Merkato - the largest open-air market in Africa.

  • Visit the religiously historical city of Axum, which is believed to be the place which allegedly holds The Ark of the Covenant; Moses’s 10 Commandments. This city is a hidden treasure, filled with sacred churches and stone streets.
