Lalibela monolithic
rock-cut churches
In a mountainous region in the heart of Ethiopia, some 645 km from Addis Ababa, eleven medieval monolithic churches were carved out of rock. Their building is attributed to King Lalibela who set out to construct in the 12th century a 'New Jerusalem', after Muslim conquests halted Christian pilgrimages to the holy Land. "UNESCO"

"I have been fortunate enough to have traveled to more than fifty countries and my trip to Ethiopia is one which stands out in my mind. I call it 'The Cradle of Humanity' for it contains within it such a rich mixture of culture and diversity, from changing landscapes to a variety of ethnic groups. abovo Ethiopia's tour agents experience, knowledge and personality combined to lead us on an exciting adventure, the highlights being Christmas in the capital of Addis Ababa, touring a number of ancient cities, visiting tribes of the Omo Valley and culminating in the major festival of Timkat in Addis Ababa. Throughout our journey abovo Ethiopia displayed its professionalism and competence in such a manner as to make its guests comfortable and secure in the knowledge that we were well looked after."
