Ethiopia is… old beyond
imagination, dating back to the very beginnings of mankind.
It is also the land of the Queen of Sheba, a place of
legendary rulers, fabulous kingdoms and ancient mysteries.
Mother Nature was in a playful mood when she created
Ethiopia, the result is a land that varies greatly from one
region to the next. With more than 80 languages and some 200
dialects, each ethnic group, preserves its own unique
customs, tradition, and costumes. You’ll find all the major
religions of the world In Ethiopia. But for all this exotic
variety, the people of Ethiopia are as one in their
friendliness and hospitality.

granite, weighing hundreds of tons and standing more than 30
meters tall .they are part of tradition of monolithic art that
is also represented elsewhere in Ethiopia.lalibela, for

depths of the denakil depression which, at 120 meter below sea
level, is one of the lowest dry land points on the earth .the
cornucopia of natural beauty that blesses Ethiopia offers an
