About Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Addis Ababa, meaning ‘New Flower’ in Amharic, sits at 2,355 metres above sea level — one of the highest capital cities in the world. Founded in 1886 by Emperor Menelik II, it is today home to the African Union headquarters and a continent-wide diplomatic community. The city’s famous Mercato is one of Africa’s largest open-air markets, overflowing with spices, textiles, and traditional crafts. The National Museum houses Lucy, one of the oldest hominid fossils ever discovered, drawing scientists and curious travellers alike. Ethiopian cuisine — injera flatbread with richly spiced wot stews — is a culinary journey in itself. Bole International Airport is also one of the continent’s busiest transit hubs, making Addis Ababa a convenient springboard to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
