What To Expect
National Museum of Ethiopia
The National Museum of Ethiopia is one of the country's most important cultural institutions. Located in Addis Ababa, it showcases Ethiopia’s rich history, culture, and art. The museum is especially famous for its archaeological and anthropological collections, offering visitors a deep dive into Ethiopia’s past. Lucy (Dinkinesh) – The museum’s most famous exhibit is the fossil of Australopithecus afarensis, a hominid that lived around 3.2 million years ago. This fossil, nicknamed "Lucy," is one of the oldest and most complete hominid skeletons ever discovered.
Holy Trinity Cathedral
The Holy Trinity Cathedral (also known as Kidane Meheret in Amharic) is one of the most important and majestic churches in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It's not only an iconic religious site but also a significant historical landmark that draws both locals and tourists alike. Tomb of Emperor Haile Selassie: The cathedral is the final resting place of Emperor Haile Selassie, one of the most significant leaders in Ethiopian history. His tomb, along with the graves of other members of the royal family, is located inside the cathedral complex. It's a place of respect and reflection for those who visit.

5.00I had a wonderful tour in Addis Ababa! Visiting the National Museum was absolutely worth it meeting Lucy in person was such an amazing experience. Spending time at Merkato was something I’ll never forget; it’s so full of life and energy and seeing how people work and move around there felt so authentic. Our guide, Ashu, was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the experience special. I absolutely loved my time in Addis Ababa!

5.00Five Stars for our tour today. Our guide Ashu is very knowledgeable about Addis Ababa and history of Ethiopia and culture. We visited St. George’s Cathedral, the Mercato, up the mountain where we enjoyed the cultural experience of coffee with a light snack. We also visited the Martyrs Museum and learned about the tragedy that happened in the 1990’s here. don't hesitate to book with Enat Tours

5.00We had a long layover in Addis Ababa on our way to Bangkok, and as always, we called our favorite guide in Ethiopia Ashu. He immediately picked up, just like he always does, and arranged another amazing tour for us in the city. Ashu’s service is outstanding. He’s knowledgeable, talented, passionate, and speaks with such vibrant energy , his spirit is always high and infectious. Returning to Ethiopia is always something special for us. We were last here in December, and now again — and each visit with Ashu makes it even more memorable. Thank you, Ashu! You’re always welcome in Sydney.
