About Ethiopia

Why come to Ethiopia?

If you are looking for an unusual, exciting, interesting holiday destination, Ethiopia is a great choice. Ethiopia will surprise you and delight you, with her many different peoples, varied landscapes and vibrant cities. Ethiopia is anchored in an ancient, cultured society - there are great and formidable stellae, timeless monuments, prehistoric paintings, exotic rock-hewn churches, old monasteries, castles, mosques, temples and other shrines, which harbor and shield all sorts of irreplaceable, irretrievable and priceless mementos. With the discovery of ancient fossil remains of our very distant ancestors, Ethiopia is often referred to as "The Cradle of Man".

Ethiopia is truly a tourist paradise - beautiful, secretive, mysterious and extraordinary. Above all things it is a country of great antiquity with infinite contrast and diversity, and culture and tradition dating back more than 3,000 years. The traveller in Ethiopia makes a journey through time, visiting and interacting with her varied peoples and ethnic groups. Ethiopia's ever-smiling people are known for their hospitality, some of whom are part of arguably the most fascinating tribes of the African continent.

In Ethiopia, tourists are transported into the past by beautiful historical monuments and the ruins of edifices built many centuries ago, such as the amazing rock churches of Lalibela and the remarkable stellae of Axum. There are amazing natural sights, such as the volcanoes in the Danakil Depression, part of the Great Rift Valley, and the Simien Mountains.

Come and see what awaits you! Ethiopia is unique in Africa, blending influences from the middle east and Africa itself to produce an unforgettable experience for you.
