About Axum
Axum, a city steeped in history and legend, is a must-visit destination for those seeking to explore the ancient world. Located in northern Ethiopia, Axum was once the heart of the powerful Axumite Kingdom, which flourished from the 1st to the 7th century AD. The city is renowned for its towering obelisks, intricate tombs, and the legendary Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion, believed by many to house the Ark of the Covenant.
Visitors to Axum can marvel at the Great Stele, one of the largest monolithic obelisks ever erected, and explore the ruins of ancient palaces and bathhouses. The city's historical significance is further enhanced by its connection to the Queen of Sheba and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. A trip to Axum offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience the rich cultural heritage of Ethiopia.
