Addis Ababa Genna Day Tour — Breakfast & Lunch Included

Celebrate Ethiopian Christmas with a guided tour in Addis Ababa. Attend an Orthodox service, enjoy a festive breakfast, visit cultural sites, and participate in a traditional coffee ceremony.
Begin your day with a hotel pickup in Addis Ababa and meet your local guide and driver. After a quick briefing, enjoy a short transfer to the church.

Attend the early morning Orthodox service dressed respectfully (white shamma recommended). Observe ancient chants, liturgical dancing, and the communal atmosphere. Your guide will explain elements of the liturgy and photography etiquette.

After the service, enjoy a seasonal Ethiopian breakfast (injera with honey and cheese, genfo or firfir, coffee/tea). Listen as your guide shares family customs, regional variations of Genna, and the meaning behind the white clothing.

Next, choose two cultural and historical highlights to visit. Stop at the National Museum of Ethiopia to see the archaeological and cultural collections, the Holy Trinity Cathedral to learn about modern history, imperial memorials, and architecture, or a local handicraft market to browse traditional textiles, religious icons, and souvenirs.

Then, sit down for a festive meal at a local restaurant or family-style venue. Enjoy seasonal dishes and shared platters, with vegetarian and other dietary options available on request. Listen to a brief talk about holiday foods and table customs.

After lunch, participate in an authentic Ethiopian coffee ceremony. Learn about its social role during holidays and daily life as you roast, grind, brew, and taste the coffee. Try spiced coffee and roasted barley (kolo) if you like.

Finally, take a guided stroll through a lively neighborhood market or cultural quarter. Take photos, do some last-minute shopping, and meet local artisans. Your guide will point out regional crafts and share bargaining tips.
