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.

When you pass through Gondar, you really shouldn't miss seeing the fort of Fasil Ghebbi. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, these fortifications are amazing. With crenels and towers, you'd think you were in Europe. You can walk in the gardens, admire the building's exterior and take a look inside some of the 5 palaces.
If you're about during Timkat (January), you can also attend the religious celebrations which take place at Fasiladas' Bath. The pool is filled with water and a crowd, dressed in white, comes to be blessed. For the rest of the year the pool is empty, but the site stays open and is still a POI all the same.
Two other places intrigued me: the Debre Berhan Selassie church, very well-known across the country and located on a hill in the north. Upon entry, you can admire very beautiful paintings on the ceiling and walls. Also, the Qusquam Monastery, built by Queen Mentewab, as well as her palace.
