Most people come to Africa for safari or to see primitive tribes. But, in the north of Ethiopia you will discover a completely different Africa with monuments that speak of an ancient civilization which can be compared with the Greek chaina and Roman civilizations, 17th century castles where kings lived in excessive luxury, playing their political games and also innumerable rock hewn churches, Hidden jewels in the rough landscape of Tigray. Many treasures are still hidden under the earth, waiting to be excavated. Many mysteries still have to be un reveled. Who has made the design for the 12 Rock Hewn Churches in Lalibela and what techniques were used to cut out a precisely shaped church from one monolithic rock?.......How were the huge Axumite Obelisks erected? Was it really by the power of the ark of the Covenant, as the legend thought in Axum ? Who has built the temple of the moon in Yeha, more than who were their ancestors? Besides that, while travelling through north Ethiopia, the landscape and nature will never be boring. Planes with vivid green Teff, rough and capricious shaped mountains, breathtaking descents and views, rivers in deep gorges and moon-like landscapes pass your eyes.

Colorful markets can be visited in different places. In the small coffee houses, you can taste the real Ethiopian coffee and atmosphere or you can visit a restaurant or bar to enjoy traditional music and dance. The hospitable people of Amhara or Tigray will joyfully receive you in their houses as a honored guest to taste something of daily life and culture in an Ethiopian family.
