  Coffee is a passion of mine, and of course Ethiopia is said to be a producer of some of the best - having tried it several times, I have to agree, and apart from Lalibela, Addis Abbaba, and more, a highlight of the visit I´d like to do in the next couple of years would be a visit to its coffee country! https://visitethiopia.travel/things-to-do/coffee-forest-tours/

  I´m a big UNESCO World Heritage geek, and I see that on the list of 42 new sites for 2023 Ethiopia got not one but two more, bringing it to a total of 11. One is natural, the Bale Mountains National Park in the central south, and the other is cultural, the Gedeo Cultural Landscape, in the southwest.

  Lalibela is famously home to Ethiopia´s most famous rock-hewn churches, but the town of Megab, in the Tigray province nine hours´drive to the north, is the site of several dozen of its own, such as Abuna Yemata Guh, dating back to the 6th century. Here´s a concise look from Lonely Planet: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/ethiopia/rock-hewn-churches-of-tigray/...

  An interesting look in The Daily Beast at the Mursi tribe in the remote southwest of the country; whom visitors come to see especially for the large decorative disks worn ceremonially by their women - and why they aren't quite what they seem: https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-the-mursi-often-dubbed-a-dangerou...

  A news website called MENAFN.com (Middle East Financial Network) just last week ran a post highlighting the destruction and disruption wrought upon some of the historic and cultural sites in Ethiopia's northernmost province, Tigray, which visitors have come to see, by the troops of the central government as part of the civil war which broke out nearly two years ago: https://menafn.com/1104913004/Ethiopias-War-In-Tigray-Risks-Wiping-...

  In honor of Black History Month in the USA, MSN's Travel Noire channel cites top historic sites in sub-Saharan Africa. Now, Ethiopia’s most famous claim to fame, this piece cites the Fasil Ghebbi, the fortress-palace of 17th-century Emperor Fasilides in the city of Gondar, in the north of the country an hour-and-a-half flight from Addis Ababa. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it became known for its architecture, with seven churches and seven bridges, and dates back to the era when Ethiopia was a great empire in northeast Africa between the 17th and 18th centuries. https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/tripideas/beyond-the-pyramids-of-e...
