“This ancient monastery is located 80Km South east of Addis Ababa, en route to Ethio-Djibouti Road. Named after Abune Gebre MenfesKidus, an Egyptian monk enter to Ethiopia preaching the Bible, this place offers an amazing view over the great East African Rift Valley Lakes, as it is found 2900Meters above Sea Level. At the top of the Mountain is one of the oldest (500 Years) monasteries in Ethiopia. It is densely covered with different endemic vegetation that creates calmness and an ideal opportunity to enjoy the day with nature and wildlife such as the Columbus Monkey and birds.
En route to this site (or on your way back), the city of Bishoftu offers excellent relaxation options with various lakeside resorts.”
