Highlights

Ethnological Museum
Saint George Cathedral
Ba'ata Maryam Mausoleum

The Ethiopian capital, the third highest in the world, is a testament to resilience, having once faced extinction due to a lack of firewood. Addis Ababa is a green oasis in Africa that oozes history and culture. A lush green belt and semi-subsistence farming surround it today, whispering tales of its past.

Imagine stepping into the former palace of Emperor Haile Selassie, the last monarch of Ethiopia, and discovering a treasure trove of culture and history. That’s what you can experience at the Ethnological Museum at Addis Ababa University, a museum that celebrates the beauty and diversity of Ethiopia’s heritage.
You can admire stunning Ethiopian art, from ancient sculptures to modern paintings, as well as religious icons that reflect the country’s faith and traditions. You can also explore the musical instruments that create the unique sounds of Ethiopian music, and learn about the different ethnic groups and languages that make up the nation. And don’t miss the personal rooms of the emperor, where you can get a glimpse of his life and legacy. The Ethnological Museum is more than just a museum, it’s a journey through Ethiopia’s past, present, and future.
