AXUM

The best time for Ethiopia Tours in the town of Axum is during the months from May to September. The rainy season in Axum gives way to wet, muddy, and damp conditions. 

Plus the town is located at an altitude of 2,130 metres, meaning that if the sun isn’t out then it can get a bit chilly. So, if you’re considering visiting this idyllic historical town, then we do suggest skipping out on the rainy season.

Though with that being said, the sun shines on most days and the climate is generally hot and dry. And, in this striking brightness, the stunning landscapes of Axum get enhanced even more.

Here are some recommendations for how to spend your time in Axum:

• Celebrate the Festival of Lights – Timket
• Visit the Church of Lady Mary of Zion
• Admire the sights of giant obelisks at the Northern Stelae Park
• Visit the serene monastery of Abba Pentalewon
• Engross yourself in Axum’s history at the Archaeology Museum

Get yourself inspired in the landscape of Axum which once used to be a sprawling ancient civilization. Want even more Ethiopia Tour suggestions and recommendations then our Taitu travel experts are at your beck and call.
