1 Debre Libanos Monastery
Depart Addis Ababa at 07:30 AM. At slightly over 100 km from Addis Ababa, Debre Libanos is one of the best day trips from the Ethiopian capital. The church is monumental and pretty awful on the outside, but the stained-glass windows are attractive. Debre Libanos has one of the most interesting church museums in Ethiopia. Besides the usual ecclesiastical items, there are Italian guns, giant cooking pots, crowns of past emperors and their wives, musical instruments, and old wooden shackles. Fifteen minutes up the hills from the monastery is the cave of Tekla Haimanot, the monastery founder, where the saint is said to have done all his praying. It is also the source of Debre Libanos' famed holy water.

3 Coffee Time
Coffee time is an essential part of Ethiopian culture and a perfect way to end your trip. You can enjoy a traditional coffee ceremony with freshly roasted beans and aromatic incense. The process is slow and social, often shared with locals or fellow travelers. It provides a relaxing moment after a day of exploration. This final stop lets you reflect on the spiritual and natural beauty of Debre Libanos.
