Overview of your Addis ababa tour:

Melka Konture is a prehistoric site situated on the southern face of the Awash River Gorge opposite to Melka Awash. It is regarded as one of the most important Stone Age sites in Ethiopia. The rock curving church of Adadi Mariam at Lalibela was built in the 12th century. In fact, local tradition ascribes it to King Lalibela who is said to have had it built on his visit to Mount Zuqwala in 1106. Driving further south, we will find Tiya ( world heritage site), where you will see the northernmost example of a peculiar type of engraved, standing stele that stretches across parts of southern Ethiopia. The stale at Tiya are believed to have been erected between the 12th and 14th centuries and are almost certainly grave markers. If you choose me as your guide to this specific destinations, you will get the best memories about the area since I have been traveling to these sites as a guide for the last 18 years. For that matter I made a very good relations with each detonation owners around.
