Rejseplan
Meskel Square er en offentlig plads i byen Addis Abeba, Etiopien. Det er ofte et sted for offentlige sammenkomster eller for demonstrationer og festivaler, især Meskel-festivalen, som den har fået sit navn fra.
Besøg Bata Mariam Kirke i Addis Abeba, en historisk etiopisk ortodoks kirke kendt for sit unikke cirkulære design og levende freskoer. Udforsk dens fredelige atmosfære og beundre de detaljerede vægmalerier, der skildrer bibelske scener. Lær om kirkens betydning i det etiopiske religiøse liv og dets arkitektoniske arv. Dette besøg giver et fascinerende indblik i landets dybt forankrede kristne traditioner og kulturhistorie. Kirken har også underjordiske krypter for Menelik og hustru kejserinde Taitu, hans datter kejserinde Zewditu og kejser Haile Selassie datter, der døde i en ung alder af kun 22.
Dette er Etiopiens primære museum og huser nationens kunstneriske skatte. Dette er et af de bedste museer i mangfoldigheden af udstillingerne, og dit besøg vil give dig et glimt af Etiopien. Museet har fire hovedudstillingssektioner, og den mest berømte udstilling er det palæontologiske udstillingsvindue, hvor du kan se det 3,5 millioner år gamle fossil af Lucy, 'Dinkinesh' på amharisk, der betyder 'vidunderligt', en hominoid kvinde af den besynderlige af Australopithecus Afarensis . Lucys fossil blev opdaget i 1974 i Hadar, Afar-regionen, og denne store opdagelse ændrede den måde, vi forstår menneskelig evolution på. Udstillingen på første sal indeholder genstande fra antikke og middelalderlige perioder, samt regalier og memorabilia fra tidligere herskere, herunder den berømte kejser Haile Selassie. Den anden udstilling indeholder kunstværker i kronologisk rækkefølge, fra traditionelle til nutidige værker, mens tredje sal omfatter rige etnografiske udstillinger.
Kort køretur til den nordlige del af hovedstaden og nyd panoramaudsigten over Addis Abeba fra Mount Entoto, den højeste top i byen. Entoto-bjerget var stedet for et palads og det kongelige hof for kejser Menelik i 1800-tallet. Entoto-bjerget er kendt som "Addis Abebas lunge", fordi den tætte skov regulerer byens klimaforhold. På toppen af dette bjerg besøger du den mægtige kong Menelik II's palads, som holdt Etiopien uafhængigt af kolonimagterne. Du vil også udforske Entoto Maryam Church-museet. En vej ned fra bjergene, stop ved Shiro Meda for at besøge Etiopiens største lokale marked for traditionelt tøj med udstillinger af Etiopiens fineste håndværk.
Yekatit 12 er et monument i Addis Abeba til minde om ofrene for italienske repressalier efter et forsøg på at dræbe marskal Rodolfo Graziani, marchese di Neghelli, vicekonge i Italiensk Østafrika, den 19. februar 1937, eller Yekatit 12 i den etiopiske kalender
Menelik II Statue er en statue af kejseren, der sidder herligt på en hest, og har stået der siden 1930. Statuen blev rejst til minde om slaget ved Adowa. Dette var det eneste større slag i Afrikas historie, da kejser Menelik og hans hær besejrede den italienske hær.
Tiglachin-monumentet, også kendt som Derg-monumentet, er et mindesmærke for etiopiske og cubanske soldater involveret i Ogaden-krigen. Det blev bygget under Mengistu Haile Mariams styre og er placeret på Churchill Avenue i Addis Abeba, Etiopien.

An ideal way to spend our layover in Addis Ababa- our guide was knowledgable and friendly and gave us a brilliant taste of life in the city.
That sounds fantastic! It's great to hear you had such an experience in Addis Ababa. A knowledgeable guide can really enhance a layover, giving you a glimpse into the local culture and life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on GishAbay Ethiopia tours!
Excellent travel guide and a great tour of Addis Ababa.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had an excellent experience exploring Addis Ababa with GishAbay Ethiopia Tours. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon!
I arrived in Addis Ababa carrying the weight of one of the worst travel days of my life. A cancelled flight with Ethiopian Airlines, a frustrating experience at the Skylight hotel, and no cell service to resolve the cascading problems—I was stressed, exhausted, and frankly, not in the best headspace. You could say my presence in that car was radioactive. Henok didn't miss a beat. He met my mood with warmth and immediate practical help, offering his own phone so I could call Italy and start untangling the mess I'd inherited. But more than that, he was genuinely upbeat throughout the entire tour, sharing stories and insights about Ethiopia and its people with real passion. He made me laugh when I needed it most. What struck me most was his flexibility. When I mentioned a few things I was interested in seeing, he didn't just nod politely—he actually pivoted the tour to include them. We could have easily stretched those four hours into six or seven if I'd had the time, and he would have happily made it happen. Instead, he understood I needed to get back to the airport to handle unfinished business, and he got me there with everything I wanted to see intact. His driver was fantastic too—skilled, attentive, and part of making the whole experience feel seamless and safe. Sometimes you take a tour and see some sights. Sometimes you take a tour and have an experience that reminds you why travel matters. Henok gave me the latter on a day when I really needed it. He's exactly the kind of guide who makes you believe you chose the right place to visit. Highly recommended. Ask for Henok.
We generally really enjoyed the tour! I would like to give 4.5/5 stars. We saw exciting places. At our explicit request, we were also able to go to the bar of the tallest building, which was the absolute highlight. This should be included in every tour! What we did not like so much was that the tour was advertised as a private tour, so we would be flexible with the program. Unfortunately, it was not a private tour; instead, we were grouped with another participant. As a result, the price/performance ratio was not so great.
Our tour was very interesting. Guide Henok gave us a lot of information about country and cultrure providing many details. We had local lunch and it was more delicious when we expected)
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s always great to hear about memorable trips and recommendations. Looking forward to more insights!
Henok was an excellent guide.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.
The very best tour you could wish to have. I could give 10 stars i would. Henock was so passionate and knowledgeable about Ethiopia. The driver was extremely professional. They will adjust the tour to suit your schedule and interests. Superb.
Excellent private tour, 100% customizable, we only went where I wanted and the pace I wanted. Covered pretty much the most interesting places in Addis Ababa. Henok is a very knowledgeable and passionate guide, highly recommended.
Thank you so much, Lanre, for your wonderful review and recommendation. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Addis Ababa layover tour and that the experience was customised to your interests and pace. It was our pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Ethiopia again soon!
Addis, a vibrant city on the rise. There's construction everywhere. The people are nice and we mostly felt safe. However, we explored the area around Merkato with a guide. With the Ride app, you can book a taxi cheaply without having to worry about being ripped off. I am very curious to see how the city develops!
Dear Christoph, Thank you so much for choosing GishAbay Ethiopia Tours and for sharing your impressions of Addis Ababa! It is an exciting time to be here, and we appreciate your note on the warmth of the Ethiopian people. We’re also glad you found the Ride app tips and our guided tour of Merkato helpful—navigating the largest open-air market in Africa is definitely an adventure best shared with a local expert! Like you, we are eager to see how the city continues to transform. We hope to welcome you back in the future to witness that development firsthand. Best regards,
The guide, Barik, and our driver did a great job. He can s very knowledgeable of Ethiopian history and showed us all of the sites.
