The Historic route

Ethiopia has the most remarkable collection of monuments in the whole of Africa apart from the Mediterranean area, and the “historic route” is the richest in the country. The restoration and preservation of monuments as well as the development of sites are essential elements in the growth of tourism in the country’s economy.
