Ethiopia

Ethiopia sits on the Horn of Africa at elevations that keep much of the country surprisingly cool and green — a highland plateau carved by deep gorges, rimmed by arid lowlands that drop below sea level in the Danakil Depression. Coffee originated here, and the smell of it roasting over charcoal is woven into daily life as firmly as the Orthodox Christian calendar.

About Ethiopia

Overview

Landlocked since Eritrea's independence in 1993, Ethiopia borders six countries and spans terrain from the Simien Mountains to the Afar desert. Addis Ababa is the capital and the seat of the African Union. Amharic is the official language; the birr is the currency. The country is one of the oldest continuous civilisations on the continent, with a distinct script, calendar, and church tradition.
