Explore Ethiopia's Interesting History - Museum Day

We’ll start the day by touring the heart of the city and going to Unity Park. It is located within the premises of the Grand Palace and it is comprised of various historical, natural and cultural sites. The Grand Palace, where Unity Park is located, was established in 1887. The palace served as the living and working space of seven Ethiopian leaders. The palace covers an area of 40 hectares and contains myriads of historical buildings and plants that date back to the time of Emperor Menelik II.

Unity Park + the Grand Palace

Following a hearty breakfast, our day's adventure begins with a scenic drive to a captivating local village. This visit offers you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich traditions of the local village.

Immersive Cultural Experience at a Local Village

After a short flight departing from Gondar, we will arrive in Lalibela. This small town holds 11 churches each carved from a single block of granite, that we will see over the course of 2 days. Most of the churches are beautifully designed with fragile-looking windows of different sizes, various forms of crosses, and catchy wall paintings. The churches are connected to each other by tunnels and walkways. The most famous being Bete Giyorgis, often referred to as the face of Lalibela. You will also experience a traditional coffee ceremony. This beautiful and unique ceremony is a tradition in Ethiopia which takes time to celebrate friendship, hospitality, and respect. This ritual involves scattering the ground or floor with freshly cut grass and burning incense sticks to ward off evil spirits. The beans are then roasted on a charcoal burner, and manually ground before finally the coffee is brewed in a long-necked clay pot called a jebena. It's an elaborate process, but we think you'll agree that traditionally brewed Ethiopian coffee is truly delicious.
