Holidays in the Historic North of Ethiopia

The density and variety of experiences in the north of Ethiopia is extraordinary. From towering mountain landscapes to arid deserts, you'll encounter ancient monuments, diverse cultures, and amazing biodiversity.

Blue Nile

The Blue Nile Falls is a waterfall on the Blue Nile river in Ethiopia. It is known as Tis Abay in Amharic, meaning "great smoke". It is situated on the upper course of the river, about 30 km downstream from the town of Bahir Dar and Lake Tana. The falls are one of Ethiopia's best-known tourist attractions

Aksum

The kingdom of Axum existed from 100 to 940 AD on the territory of present-day Ethiopia. It grew mostly because of its trade with the ancient Romans and with India;at the height of its power, the empire was strong enough to create its own money.

Discover Ethiopia

Ethiopia, in the Horn of Africa, is a rugged, landlocked country split by the Great Rift Valley. With archaeological finds dating back more than 3 million years, it’s a place of ancient culture. Among its important sites are Lalibela with its rock-cut Christian churches from the 12th–13th centuries. Aksum is the ruins of an ancient city with obelisks, tombs, castles and Our Lady Mary of Zion church.

LALIBELA

The Rock-hewn Churches of Lalibela are monolithic churches located in the Western Ethiopian Highlands near the town of Lalibela, named after the late-12th and early-13th century King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela of the Zagwe Dynasty, who commissioned the massive building project of 11 rock-hewn churches to recreate the holy city of Jerusalem in his own kingdom

Gonder Fasil Ghebbi

Once the epicentre of Ethiopian politics and power, the crumbled ruins of the Royal Enclosure - also known as ‘Fasil Ghebbi’ - are all that remain of a bygone era. An ancient home of kings and queens, these crumbling castle walls have seen the rise and fall of Ethiopia's elite.

Fasilides' Bath

Just outside the heart of the Gondar, past the river Qaha, lies one of Ethiopia's most sacred sites. Still in use today, Fasilides' Bath is an important cultural and historic monument that plays an important role during the Ethiopian festival of Timket.

Trip to Omo valley with Abel

Me and my wife have spent a week in Omo valley guided by Abel (Ambesa Ethiopia Tour), Chuli and his friends. It was a smooth and wonderful experience. We were getting additional guides for certain locations so that we had always someone with us who could speak local language and had connections in the villages. Abel was very attentive with respect to our comfort. Our trip was special as it happened during the pandemic, when the tourist industry in Omo valley has practically died out. The combination of great guides and this condition allowed us to experience authentic lifestyle of the different tribes. We were camping in a Mursi village, which was one of the best experience of the trip. We also witnessed the bull jumping ceremony in a Bana village. I can only recommend our guide to anyone who wants to avoid tourist traps and get the best of Omo valley. www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g1237159-d593874-r785846723-Omo_National_Park_and_River-Jinka_Southern_Nations_Nationalities_and_People_s_Re.html?m=19905
