Welcome to Ethiopia, a land like nowhere else that you will never forget. Ethiopia isn’t a country that can be described; it has to be experienced. Every traveller has their own perception by discovering historical sites, and by following in the footsteps of the Queen of Sheba and the Emperor Haile Selassie. This land has a lot to offer in the diversity of its landscapes and animals from North to South and from East to West. The kindness and the openness of the Ethiopian people will make you feel at home and enrich your life.

Jimma, in the west of the country, is really off the beaten track, in a region rarely visited by tourists.
 The city itself isn't the most pleasant, as with many others in the country, but it is authentic.
You can visit the Aba Jifar palace, a king from the Muslim Oromo dynasty who reigned in the 18th Century. At the museum in Jimma, you'll see the throne of the last king, sculpted using a single piece of wood. Since they have few visitors, some places are poorly maintained.
The main streets are famous for crafts which are sold across the city, making it an important trading area for jewellery, wooden items, basketwork ... The market is up and running in town every Thursday.
 Jimma is a good place to start if you want to visit the lesser known and well-preserved tribes in the north of the Omo Valley: the Gurage, the Surma, the Tishana, the Boume and the Dizi. You can also follow the new road from Jimma to<a href="/ethiopia/">Sodo</a>, to join the <a href="/ethiopia/">Omo Valley</a>
