In the morning, transfer to the airport and flight to Lalibela ET122, 10:00 - 10:30.
This day is entirely dedicated to visiting the 12 churches of Lalibela (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Lalibela was the capital of Ethiopia in the 10-13th centuries. Four prominent kings ruled over this dynasty, the most famous of which was King Lalibela. On his orders in the 12th century, 12 churches were built, carved into the rock. Each church has a unique design. Almost all churches are operational. The most famous and most attractive is the Church of St. George, 15 m high, carved into the rock in the shape of a Greek cross.
Four churches outside Lalibela are also interesting to visit. The first is Yimrehanna Christos of the 11th century, 40 km from Lalibela; the second is the 12th century Nakute Laab church, 6 km from the city, and the third is Asheten Mariam, high in the mountains, which can only be reached by mule or on foot, and the third is the 13th century Genete Mariam church with unusual frescoes.
Lalibela attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists during Ethiopian Christmas celebrations on January 7th. This place is often called the 8th wonder of the world.
