Fasil Ghebbi

avatar
Mamaru Endris
Fasil Ghebbi, Gondar Region, are the remains of a fortress-city that was the residence of the Ethiopian emperor Fasilides and his successors. Fasil Ghebbi is a fortress located in the city of Gondar, in the north-western Ethiopian region of Amhara. The Royal Enclosure is the stays of a fortress-city in Gondar, Ethiopia. It was founded in the 17th century with the aid of Emperor Fasilides.

Emperor Fasil’s Palace

环游星空的歌者高登
1. in the center of Gondell; 2. world heritage-class attractions; 3. the palace and the adjoining church are about 400 years old, the 17th century Ethiopian King Fasilidas and his successor emperors' residence; If you expect to see the magnificent palace, you may be disappointed, because there are only six buildings left in different degrees of damage, and nothing is left empty; 5. The ticket is 200 bill, about ¥39.6 yuan.

Blue Nile Falls

Lavender and Sun
The Nile River Basin is divided into seven major regions: the East African Lake Plateau, the Mountain River Region, the White Nile Region, the Blue Nile Region, the Atbara River Region, the Nile Region north of Khartoum and the Nile Delta. The river flows north through Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, and flows into Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, from the west.

Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela

avatar
sky5lady
There are 11 churches carved out of a rocky mountain, which is a miracle in architectural history and a world cultural heritage of Ethiopia. It only takes one hour to fly from Addis Ababa to Lalibela. The ticket is $100, which is a bit expensive. Since you have flown here (the air ticket is also expensive), you might as well take a look. In fact, if you don’t find a tour guide and walk around the town by yourself, you probably don’t need to buy a ticket. All the churches are open-air and you can see them all. It’s better to take pictures outside, there is nothing to see inside. The main theme of the interior decoration is thrifty [laughing and crying R]

Simien Mountains National Park

Mamaru Endris
Simien National Park, in northern Ethiopia is a spectacular landscape, where massive erosion over millions of years has created jagged mountain peaks, deep valleys and sharp precipices dropping some 1,500m. The Ethiopian wolf, Gelada, Menelik's bushbuck, and Walia Ibex are mammals endemic to Ethiopian Highlands. Other rare mammals include Hamadryas baboon, colobus monkey, leopard, caracal, serval, wild cat, spotted hyena, golden jackal, and Anubis baboon.

National Museum of Ethiopia

The National Museum of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa houses the famous Lucy fossil, ancient artifacts, and Ethiopian art. Though small, it offers deep historical insights. Some exhibits need better maintenance. Worth a visit!
