Ethiopia's Northern Ethiopia
Yeha
To understand the birth of Ethiopian history, one must first witness the captivating spectacle of Yeha. The country’s earliest high civilization, Yeha lies in a remote part of the Tigray region several hours from its successor, Axum.
Along the drive, witness dramatic highland scenery, while the city itself offers a enchanting agricultural hamlet. It is here that you may discover the enlightening wonder of the towering ruins of the Yeha’s Temple of the Moon, a 2500 year old structure built during the Sabaean era. This impressive edifice invokes great respect for these mysterious people, whose ancient civilization still radiates with unknowns.
While many questions remain to be answered, little awe is left to be inspired when walking the streets of Yeha.
