Visiting the Lalibela Rock-Hewn Churches in Ethiopia is a remarkable experience. These churches, carved directly into the rock, are among the most impressive examples of medieval Ethiopian architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Lalibela, once the capital of the Zagwe dynasty in the 12th and 13th centuries, is home to 11 monolithic churches that were carved out of volcanic tuff. They are often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" due to their incredible craftsmanship and spiritual significance

This was my third trip with Enat Tours and Ashu, and once again, the service was excellent from beginning to end. Ashu is extremely helpful and friendly, and his team in Lalibela is truly wonderful. The rock-hewn churches are magnificent—a truly holy place to be. Such a beautiful church will always remain in my heart.
