Itinerary

Entoto Park
- We begin our tour at Entoto hill, located 3200 m above the sea. There is now a new park with an observation deck offering panoramic views of Addis Ababa. Here located was the capital city of Ethiopia before Menelik II moved it to Addis Ababa. The king's palace remains today. On the way down, we stop by the national museum to see the 3.2 million-years old bones of our grand ancestor - Lucy, which are one of the most famous exhibits of their collection. The attention of visitors is drawn by a rich collection of insignia of emperors and churches, costumes, and weapons. The oldest exhibits are rock sculptures and inscriptions from the times of Queen Sheba, found near Aksum.
- In the afternoon, we will drive to downtown Addis Ababa to see piazza Arada Giyorgis Church and then continues to the most popular and largest market in Africa - Merkato. We will walk in the market to see the different goods and see the real life of the people. On the way back to the hotel, we will stop by the African Union building and tower office just for a photo, and then we will escort you to the chosen hotel or to the airport.
