Bet Abba Libanos Rock-Hewn Church, Northern Cluster, Lalibela
Ethiopia is a stunning country that offers the largest Cultural Heritage of Sub-Saharan Africa, built over centuries by some of the oldest Jewish, Christian (Orthodox) and Muslim communities on earth, and by Empires which influence spread much further than African boundaries…
The Northern Historical Route (Bahir Dar, Gonder, Lalibela, Aksum, Tigray), in the highlands of Ethiopia, but also Harar in the East, take the visitors through the grandeurs of Ethiopian Christian Orthodox culture, with stunning Rock-Hewn Churches and Monasteries, but also through the vestiges of the various Ethiopian Empires, starting with the legendary Queen of Sheba and ending in the 20th Century.

Awesome photography Gilles, I always dream of going to Ethiopia. You are a lucky person! Keep the good work going.
Thanks, Absar!
Ethiopia is indeed a stunning country, and yes, I am lucky to have been able to go there 3 times…
I will do my best to keep on going 😉
