In evidenza
Two of the Tigray region's most significant rock-hewn churches in two days — each at a different altitude, a different level of physical challenge, and a different depth of history. Day 1 brings you to Abreha and Atsbeha at 2,100 meters above sea level, one of Gheralta's most accessible sanctuaries, carved into the mountainside and named for the two Aksumite kings who brought Christianity to Ethiopia. Day 2 demands more: a 2-hour mountain hike on steep, vertiginous paths through the Gheralta massif to reach Abune Yemata Guh — a church carved into a sheer cliff face more than 50 meters above the ground, its interior covered with 15th-century frescoes in the Debre Sion tradition depicting the sacred procession of one of the Nine Saints of Aksum. The frescoes have retained their biblical vividness for six centuries. Private 4x4 transport, professional English-speaking guide, and full board throughout.

About Mek'ele
Mekelle, capital of Tigray in northern Ethiopia, is a highland city and a base for rock-hewn churches and the salt flats and volcanoes of the Danakil.
Mekelle stands at more than 2,000 metres on the northern Ethiopian plateau, in the region of Tigray, and has grown into the main city of the north. Emperor Yohannes IV made it his seat in the 1880s, and his stone palace, with its towers and carved wooden doors, is now a museum of the imperial period. The surrounding country is a landscape of sandstone ridges and flat-topped mountains.
