At first be aware the this religious site is acessable by men only. The religious monks who live here do not leave the monastry and continiously pray and live a very simple life. There are 150 monks and 150 student monks. Acess to the monastry is Only by cowhide rope and is very difficult climb. Even food and livestock are pulled up the 30 metre rockface. Once on the plateau food is basic and accommodation even more so. It is a very tranquil place and you must be respectful of the monks and their way of life. I found it uplifting and grounding. As part of Ethiopian culture it remains unique.

These stellar are relics of the past and really worth seeing although I would certainly recommend a guide as this made a big difference. There is also a museum which is very interesting.

An amazing history here but a lot more needs to be uncovered. There is a tale of a tunnel from this location to Israel...WOW if it is really true. If not impressed by the site, at a minimum you can enjoy the beautiful view of Adwa and Eritrea mountains in the distance. A guided tour is recommended. Guides can be found in their office next to the Stetae park in town. Make sure you get the guides that operate in a group not the once who operate individually. Individual tour guides will charge you more.

As part of the tour through Aksum, this tablet holds a special historical meaning. It is proof that the ancient people here spoke three languages: Greek, Ge’ez, and Saabean.

During a day trip I was able to visit have two of the most impressive churches in the region that are very close to each other as well - Abrha we Atsbha and Abuja Yemata Guh. If you start early you will also be able to accommodate another visit to Maryam Kokor! I was guided by Kidane who knows tons of the history of the rock-hewn churches - I am sure I would not have spent so much time in the churches were it not to his knowledge about them! He can be contacted through [email protected] and +251945063854, and I was lucky that he was available for the tour within a day of notice. After the tour he also showed me a local restaurant and coffee bar in Wukro, which was a nice end to a phenomenal day if you want to get a glimpse of the local town life as well.
