“Highlight of the trip”

Churches of Lalibela

Apr 25, 2008

Just back from a trip to Ethiopia which included three nights in Lalibela. We stayed in the Jersualem Guest House and loved it. Big rooms with a lovely balcony. It was clean and the restaurant had the best salads we came across - lentil salad or mixed salad can be personally recommended...

We had a great guide - Fikru Giorgis - atofikru@yahoo.com if you need an english speaking guide he comes highly recommended. The Bradt Guide people use him when they come to visit.

Churches are incredible - still trying to get my head wrapped round how they built them.

Three days should be loads and even gives you a chance to head out of town to some other great sites in a half day trip.

“Lalibela Churches a Must”

Churches of Lalibela

2/3 found this review helpful

As part of a Yemgeta Tour we recently spent 2 days in Lalibela. What can anyone say about these incredible 900 year old churches carved out of the mountain sides? Stupendous. Indeed should be added to the world's list of wonders.

We stayed at the Roha Hotel - part of Ghion chain - friendly staff, comfortable, safe, very good value, little bit old fashioned. They do a limited tourist lunch and dinner that costs less than $5 per person.

If you are in Ethiopia for a few extra days, as we were, just go to Lalibela!
