If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got some ideas. Situated 35 miles away, Mek’ele is worth jumping in the car for. Yohannes IV Museum, Memorial for Martyred Freedom Fighters and Patriots and Qedamay Woyane Mall alone make the drive out worth it. The locals will also probably point you toward Axum, 45 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Dungur Palace. (But we’d also recommend Arabtu Ensessa Church and King Bazen’s Tomb.)
