Addis Ababa ("New flower" in Amharic)is the third elevated capital in the world with an altitude of 2,400 m. Founded in 1887 by Emperor Menelik II, it is also known as the capital of Africa for hosting multiple international institutions such as the African Union Commission and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.
Business or holiday travelers are expected to enjoy staying in this Africa’s bustling and vibrant capital city. Its ethnically diverse population of more than 5 m are known to be hospitable and helpful in creating long-lasting memorable experiences.
Ethiopia offers wide varieties of delicious meals. The main Ethiopian staple is injera, a type of foam-textured pancake, made with tiny grain called teff, a nutritious fibre-rich gluten-free germ that comes with three different colours. A variety of different stew-like sauces are eaten with injera. These include tibs (spicy fried meat mixed with onions and peppers), shiro (spicy puréed chickpeas) and kai wot (a hot stew usually made with fish, beef, goat, or chicken meat). Vegans and those with a taste for spice are well catered in Ethiopia. A common dish on fasting days is a kind of vegetable buffet called atkilt bayinetu (assorted stew), which comprises dollops of several vegan dishes placed on a plate of injera.
