Historic Routes of Ethiopia
Certainly no country in Sub-Saharan Africa can trace its origins as far back Ethiopia is mentioned thirty there times in the holy bible and many times in the holy Qura’an. Perhaps this is the reason why so many visitors retrace the “historic route’, drawn by colorful stories and fantastic tales to the land once known as Abyssinia. There is nothing in Sub-Saharan Africa and in a sense anything else in the world that prepares the visitor for the wealth of historical and cultural treasure, both ancient and living, contained in Northern Ethiopia. The historic routes pivot around four cities in the north, namely Axum, Lalibela, Gondar, Bahirdar and the walled city of Harar in the east, all are very different to others.
