Addis Ababa is the world’s third-highest capital city at 2,665 meters above sea level. It’s a city that has worn its heart on its sleeve since it was founded by Ethiopian Emperor Menelik in 1892.

Boasting a cityscape that changes almost daily, with rickety wooden scaffolding creeping slowly skyward, Addis has more than enough history and sights to warrant more than just a stopover.

Amharic, the national language, is widely spoken throughout the country and is predominant in Addis Ababa. The principal foreign language is English, but you will also find many people who speak French, Italian, and Arabic.

Historian Carlo Conti Rossini once characterized Ethiopia as a “rich cultural mosaic”. He could have also been speaking about Addis Ababa itself.

Each of the country's multitude of ethnic groups is represented somewhere in the capital, as are many foreign residents from all parts of the world who contribute to the city's cosmopolitan atmosphere.

I have had a meeting in Ethiopia and stayed for 3 days. I was tremendously busy for two days, however, I got some spare time on the last day. one of a friend suggested me Gashaw in Ethiopia to arrange a short trip for me in Addis Ababa, and he did it well. I went to the hill par Entotot, visit National museum and The biggest market Merkato. He was also suggested me for a day trip, but I couldn't get enough time. Thank you very much Gashaw, and I am hoping to return very sooner.
GREATFUL TIME IN ADDIS ABABA!
