Ethiopia – a summary

Ethiopia 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, fascinating history, and spectacular scenery. Among its important sites is 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 reputedly housing the Ark of the Covenant. The Simien Mountains, the tribes of the Omo Valley and the volcanic Danakil depression are just some of the many sights and experiences of this amazing and virtually unknown country.
