ETHIOPIA - Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa, also called Addis Abeba, is the capital and largest city of Ethiopia and the home of the African Union, having important United Nations branches, and with nearly every foreign embassy from around the world represented.

Located in the beautiful Ethiopian highlands, Addis Ababa is positioned at 2,665 meters in elevation, making the weather extremely pleasant, if not a bit on the cool side.

Addis Ababa is vibrant, crowded, sometimes chaotic and the Addis Mercato incredibly entertaining and full of life and character, that walking around is one of the best things to do in Addis Ababa.
