Ethiopian Tour to Ancient Civilizations
The Ethiopian Tour allows you to feel the showers and listen to the tremendous roars of the spectacular Blue Nile Falls. A boat trip on Lake Tana island monasteries would give you an impression of how far back Christianity goes in this region.
Gonder, the Ethiopian medieval capital, boasts with large royal enclosure containing grand castles, palaces, and outbuildings.
Axum is a place where a high civilization had risen before the birth of Christ.
Tigray rock churches as legend has it, their phenomenal construction was beyond the power of man. Access to the narrow entrance requires a sheer ascent and isn’t for the faint hearted.
The most incredible features of this trip are Lalibela churches hewn out of a single rock. They are witnessed to undoubtedly rank among the greatest historical sites in the entire Christian world.
