Sacred Sites of Ethiopia

One of Ethiopia’s biggest draws is the chance to see its living history. Ancient churches are still in use by today’s devoted Christians, and tourists are allowed a glimpse into the sacred at incredible religious sites such as Gondar and Lalibela. The Tigray region is known for its cliff-side churches, where priests and worshipers scale mountains to access holy sites. This short BBC video follows one priest on his ‘daily commute’ up a cliff face to his church. Travel Ethiopia will customize a visit, catering to everyone from the uber-adventurous to the mobility challenged.
