Many people visit because of the remarkable manner in which ancient historical traditions have been preserved. The ceremonies and rituals of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church open a window on the authentic world of the Old Testament. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has its own head, follows its own customs, and is extremely proud of its fourth century origins.

Ethiopia's Islamic tradition is also strong and offers colourful contrast, particularly in the eastern and south-eastern parts of the country. In fact, there were Ethiopian Muslims during the lifetime of Prophet Mohammed. This rich religious history is brought to life in the romantic walled city of Harar, considered by many Muslims to be the fourth "Holy City". The natural beauty that blesses Ethiopia offers an astonishing variety of landscapes such as the Afro-Alpine highlands soaring to around 4,300 metres, moors and mountains, the splendour of the Great Rift Valley, white-water rivers, Savannah teeming with game, giant waterfalls, dense and lush jungle.

Ethiopia's many national parks enable the visitor to enjoy the country's scenery and its wildlife, conserved in natural habitats, and offer opportunities for travel adventure unparalleled in Africa. The wildlife consists mainly of East African plains and 450 species of bird all live within the park. Ethiopia is the earliest known home of humankind. A skeleton of an older human ancestor, the Australopithecus Aphaeresis was discovered in 1974 in the Afar region. Anthropologists have established that the skeleton covering 40% of the human body had belonged to a twenty-years-old female that lived 3.5 million years ago. Registered by the United Nations Education, Science, and Culture Organization UNESCO as a World Heritage, the site of the discovery is called Hadar situated 160 kilometres northeast of Addis Ababa. The Skeleton is popularly known as Lucy or Dinkinesh. The discovery has completed the missing link between apes and men paving the way for the search to human origins.
