Ethiopia

Ancient history, dramatic highlands, and rich cultural traditions.

The Land of Origins, Ancient Civilizations & Majestic Highlands

Ethiopia, located in the Horn of Africa and shaped by the Great Rift Valley, is a land of dramatic landscapes, ancient culture, and deep historical roots. Archaeological discoveries dating back over 3 million years, including the famous Lucy, highlight its significance as a cradle of humankind. The country is home to remarkable heritage sites such as Lalibela’s 12th–13th century rock-hewn churches and the ancient city of Aksum, known for its obelisks, royal tombs, and storied connection to the Queen of Sheba.
As the only African nation never colonized, Ethiopia has preserved a rich and distinct cultural identity. Its history spans powerful kingdoms, early Christianity with echoes of ancient Israel, and extraordinary monuments that continue to inspire awe. Ethiopia’s towering mountains, lush coffee forests, and timeless traditions make it one of Africa’s most captivating destinations.
