Opis
Get a true taste of Ethiopian life on a day tour from Addis Ababa. Visit a 13th century Adadi Mariam Rock Church, wander in a cultural weekly market (Thursdays & Sundays Only) & explore local village.
Begin your tour with a pickup from your hotel in Addis Ababa. Drive through the dramatic landscapes of the Great East African Rift Valley. Stop at a viewpoint to enjoy the vast beauty of a section of the Great Rift Valley. From your guide, learn about the background and geological significance of Great East African Rift Valley.
Cross the Awash River and continue driving to the rock church of Adadi Mariam, carved entirely from a single stone in the 13th Century AD. Admire the fascinating design which offers an inspiring glimpse into the country’s Christian heritage.
Continue to the weekly cultural market of the Oromo people, held at Adadi town only on Thursdays and Sundays. This lively open-air bazaar brings together diverse ethnic groups from the surrounding region. Walk among stalls bursting with fresh produce, textiles, and handcrafted goods — a feast for the senses and the camera.
Next, your guide leads you to a nearby traditional village for an immersive cultural experience. Be warmly welcomed by local families and gain unique insights into Ethiopian rural life. Participate in daily activities such as baking Injera and sharing freshly brewed Ethiopian coffee. It’s an intimate opportunity to learn about the Oromo people culture, family life, and centuries-old traditions.
After the village tour, relax on your return drive to Addis Ababa. On the way back to Addis, be treated with fresh fruit juice.
