Here are few of the Whys
1. The People:The people of this old realm are a mixture of above 80 ethnic groups speaking above 70
different languages; they dont seem so though, for they understand each other in almost every aspect of
heir lives. To appreciate what diversity and living in peace with all the difference anyone might have,
Ethiopia is the best choice. Having three thousand years of experience the people of this land has come to
be unusually very kind for strangers and travellers. Once you are in their land their treatment would make
you feel as if you are almost home. The lives of these people of innocent hearts will trigger your soul to
ook for a place among them. You, certainly, would be amazed of their social life; how they speak to each
other; how they eat together. These well-mannered people live just a plane ticket away from your home.
2. Their History: Ethiopians are not a nation of hundreds of years
of history as most of the worlds countries are. Owning their own
calendar, rather, they have a 3000 thousand years of existence.
Remnants of the oldest kingdoms are living witnesses for these
words of ours. The Axumite Kingdom that had been ruling across
the Red Sea in to the Arab world has left its huge fingerprints onthe exceptionally massive obelisks of Axum. The Zagwe Kingdom,
on the other hand, has left us the miraculous Lalibela Church,
made out of a single stone. A country that had been ruled by Kings
and Queens, these days has a Prime minister. But, the history of
these great kingdoms has been reserved, so that the world can see
the last 3000 years.
3. The Landscape: Africas forth highest point is
on the tops of Ras Dashen Mountain with
beautiful volcanic range of gagged peaks. The
Great Rift Valley and Afar Depression are the
very sights that your eyes would, undoubtedly,
fall in love with. Here, you will travel from the
highest peak of the continent to the deepest
depression.

6. Lost Ark of the Covenant: You must have seen
the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark starring
Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. It must have your
sensations arisen. Graham Hancock, Philip
Marsden and Richard Pankrest are few of the
prominent writers and travellers of our times.Their researches and extensive journeys enabled
them to explore to where that most important
object in the world The Ark, has been
disappeared. Some people say it is just a legend, the people of Ethiopia, instead,
believe that the Ark is not lost; it is among them, hidden in one of the Tana islands.
As a proof, every Orthodox Church of Ethiopia has its own Tabot a similar object to
the original one. How could it be? Well, why dont you come and see and listen to the
whole story yourself?
4.TheRivers
(The Liquid Miracles) the Blue Nile River, its
source being in one of Ethiopias biggest lake,
Lake Tana flows crossing Sudan and ends in Egypt.
This river contributes 2/3 of the Nile which is the
longest river in the world. Many people of the
olden times of Europe had travelled following it
until they reached the source of this liquid
miracle. Tekeze, Shebele, Jubba, Atbarah/The
Black Nile are few of the rivers that you would be
dreaming of drinking.
T
Ethiopians own a culture that has
been growing ever since history itself
begun to be present. Unlike the other
African nations, Ethiopians were able
to protect their country from the
European colonizers which helped
them in keeping their culture fromthe exposure of becoming a mixture
of another. Every ethnic group has its
own unique way of dealing with life
which usually gives a shock for many
of the travellers whose luck has made
his destination to be Ethiopia. If you
are a person of curiosity to see what
such genuine culture looks like
Ethiopia must be your choice.
7. The Animals: You, probably, have beenresiding in one of the most beautiful and
modern cities of the world. Now, it is time
for you to have a little change for a little
while. Where should you be travelling
then? Ethiopia. Those first animals of the
Paradise, named by Adam himself are still
alive, though only here. You will have the
blessing to watch gelada baboon, Walia
Ibex and Simien Jackal - unique creatures
to Ethiopia dancing only in the Ras Dashen
Mountainous areas.

9. The Air Way: Did you feel that you have missed
something great in your life? Dont worry; the
plane is waiting for you just outside your door.Ethiopian airlines is not only the best air ways in
Africa but also competitive in the world.
Wherever you are it just does not matter for
there is no place that the Ethiopian Airlines dont
make flight. All you need to do is just packing
your things. The rest is our job.
8. The Air
These days it is obvious that we are
breathing in to our lungs not just what is
necessary for our body but a mixture of
poisoning chemicals coming out of massivefactories. The streets of the worlds cities
are becoming very crowded of vehicles and
people rushing to work all over the day and
again rushing to home for rest. You must
have already felt that you will need to be
out of this system for a little while and
breath the true Oxygen. The highlands of
Ethiopia are waiting for you so that you may
breathe from the fresh air that is moving
over mountains and lakes. You would simply
stop those chemicals entering your lung and
breathe what is natural which obviously
would make you live longer.
The National Museum of Ethiopia, the Sidist Kilo Museum inside the Addis Ababa University, (it had been the
palace of Emperor Haile Selassie) the holy trinity museum, the palace of Emperor Menelik in his days of his
kingship on the Entoto Mountain, these and many others have reserved the countrys valuable artefacts.
The National Museum, especially, is reach of the paleoanthropologicalartefactsthat includes as Lucy and
Selam. Visiting some of these museums within a few days you will realize how great and worth-seeing
Ethiopia is.
