Begin your journey with a scenic drive through Ethiopia’s highlands to Debre Libanos, one of the country’s most sacred Orthodox Christian sites. Founded in the 13th century, this monastery is still alive with daily worship. Explore the historic church grounds and the holy Cave of Saint Tekle Haymanot, where pilgrims seek blessings and healing.
