Some of the most popular tourist locations in northern Ethiopia are found in Tigray, Afar, and Amhara; they include the striking salt flats and flaming volcano of the Danakil Depression in Afar, and the rock-hewn cathedrals of Lalibela in Amhara. The Simien Mountains are an excellent national park for hiking and seeing rare fauna but getting there requires taking roads that federal soldiers use and that border war zones which you should also avoid.

 

A complex transport system is present throughout the vast nation of Ethiopia. Routes to destinations you wish to visit may not always be included in local bus schedules, which might be confusing. It is possible to reserve private transport, though doing so can be costly, particularly if you have to travel alone. Many people choose Ethiopian Airlines to schedule arrival tickets and take advantage of huge savings on regional and local flights within their network.

 

By making reservations on Ethiopian Airlines, you may also sign up for the ShebaMiles frequent flyer program and receive a range of benefits. This way you can make your trip to Ethiopia convenient. Travel to the southern parts of Ethiopia and the city of Addis Ababa, are both relatively secure as of March 2022.

 

Traveling Smart: 16 Ideas to Keep You Entertained During the Airport Layover

This includes the well-known Omo Valley, known for its colourful tribes, and Dorze, known for its dance and surrounded by verdant hills and picturesque lakes. Travel to certain parts of Ethiopia should still be done with caution, though. The easiest method to stay updated on local travel and the situation on the ground is to stay in touch with residents of the areas you plan to visit. 

 

Ethiopian women's attire recommendations

  • In Ethiopia, as in other East African nations, it is advisable to wear conservative clothing. Long dresses and skirts, loose pants and tops, and lightweight scarves on hand to cover the head and shoulders when going to religious sites. 
  • There can be significant regional differences in the weather. Warm clothing is recommended at night in the mountains because the highlands get very cold after nightfall and very hot during the day.

 

Step Up Your Travel Style Game with Celebrity Airport Fashion Tips

Ethiopia is well-known for its cotton looming, therefore the country is home to a large number of exquisite hand-woven blankets and scarves that are ideal for comfort and cultural awareness.  Ethiopian women's etiquette: what they should and shouldn't do.

Logistics of travel for women visiting Ethiopia

All domestic flights in the Tigray region were stopped. Road closures that are irregular and frequently unplanned are a problem throughout Ethiopia. Allowing for flexibility and extra time in your schedule is the best course of action.

 

If you take a little time and ask around, you can find buses. Even after a truck accident blocked my path on a mountain road, I was still able to locate buses carrying people in the other direction across the valley.

 

Hiking boots or sturdy sandals are essential. Even if you're not climbing in the Simien Mountains, you'll still need sturdy footwear because the Danakil and the highlands are rugged, mountainous terrain. 

 

Though there isn't necessarily a list of "dos and don'ts," keep in mind that tourism is still relatively new in many parts of Ethiopia. Male guides will be happy to help, so take advantage of this, but be cautious when settling on a price and keeping a professional rapport. The Ethiopian government owns it entirely, and it takes great satisfaction in employing cutting-edge technology to give passengers top-notch service.

 

Ethiopian Airlines' Fleet Information and Connectivity

Middle Eastern travellers can make use of Ethiopian Airlines connectivity to travel to and from Dammam, Dubai, Jeddah, Kuwait, Beirut, Muscat, and Riyadh. Its fleet consists of Q400 aircraft for domestic flights, Boeing 757 and 737 for medium-range passenger services, and Boeing 767, 777, and 787 long route passenger service.
