Suggested Itinerary
Fly to Lalibela & Visit the Rock Hewn Churches of Lalibela
Arrive to Lalibela and take the airport transfer to the town and visit the rock-hewn churches. After you check in at your hotel, you will drive to sites where you’ll find a concentration of some of Ethiopia’s most famous rock-hewn churches, mostly referred to by many as “the living wonders of the world.” These churches have been here for at least 900 years and include an active Christian shrine, the spiritual center of the country’s religious life. Then, you will visit Northwestern Clusters of churches, which include: Bet Medhane Alem, Bet Maryam, Bet Meskel, Bet Danagel, Bet Mikael, and Golgotha. After lunch, you’ll continue to visit the Southeastern Cluster of Lalibela churches —Bet Gabriel-Rafael, Bet Merkorios, Bet Amanual, and Bet Abba Libanos. Finally, you’ll visit the most famous of all the churches —Bet Giyorgis, a huge monolithic church in the shape of a cross, constructed in honor of St. George, the patron saint of Ethiopia.
You’ll stay overnight in Lalibela.
