A unique religious festival – Timket

Your previous vacation travels may have taken you to places with exotic religious and cultural festivals. If you want to immerse yourself in one of the most colorful Epiphany celebrations ever, come to Ethiopia Epiphany, which is known as ‘Timket’ in Ethiopia, and is celebrated every year to commemorate the baptism of Jesus Christ in River Jordan.

North Ethiopia

Ethiopia’s Northern Circuit, sometimes called the Historical Route, is by some distance the most impressive tourism itinerary in the country. Across Bahir Dar, Gondar, Axum and Lalibela there lies an extraordinary trove of historic and cultural treasures, from beautifully preserved ancient monasteries to monolithic churches and vast, mysterious obelisks.
