"Adey Mekelle" by Amir Daud wedi Mekelle(03)
Mekelle is the capital city of Tigray state in northern Ethiopia!

AGID CANADA Book & Journal Donation Project News Update No.7.
The northern city of Mekelle is one of the most pleasant places to visit in Ethiopia. The people are nice, the streets are wide and good for walking. As a foreigner, one of the most pleasant things about visiting Mekelle is the lack of hassle from locals - there are no crowds following you, no calling out of 'you, you' or 'money, money'. People very pleasantly leave you alone.

Within 80 kilometers of Mekelle there are reputed to be over 120 rock hewn churches, which makes Mekelle a stop off point or central resting place for visitors. From here day trips to the churches around Wukro or Geralta are easily arranged.

The town itself has many sites worth visiting. It is a good sized city but easy to get your bearings, and most places are walking distance.

  • I'm Eritrean and visited Mekele in 1997. I see major improvements which differ from what I had in my memory of the city from back then. It was beautiful then but it looks great now.
