Description

Discover the flavors of Ethiopia on a guided food tour in Addis Ababa. Visit local eateries, enjoy a traditional coffee ceremony, and taste local drinks at bars.
Begin your exploration of Addis Ababa with a walking food tour. Visit five eateries and taste a variety of dishes, from raw meat to traditional injera, fish, and fresh juices. Stop at bars for local drinks like tej, tela, areke, and beer, and learn about food preparation and culture from your guide.

Next, experience a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, a celebrated custom where coffee is made and served as an honor. Enjoy the heavenly feeling of a hot finjal of coffee poured over from the jebena.

Visit the Red Terror Martyrs’ Memorial Museum to reflect on an important piece of Ethiopia’s history. Then, head to St. George’s Cathedral, known for its distinctive octagonal form, and explore the onsite museum.

Take a trip to Mount Entoto, the highest peak of the Entoto mountains, standing at 3200 feet above sea level. Renowned for its history as the home of the city’s founder, it’s the ideal choice for an excursion, hiking, or outing.

Shop at the Addis Mercato, the largest open-air marketplace in Africa, and explore Unity Park, located at the Grand Palace, which served as the living and working space of seven Ethiopian leaders.
