The Experience

Discover Ethiopia’s vibrant capital in style with Gursha Tours Ethiopia. This one day curated journey blends history, culture, and modern city life into a seamless experience.
Begin your morning at the National Museum, home to the world famous fossil “Lucy” and Ethiopia’s artistic treasures. Continue to Merkato, Africa’s largest open air market, where city life meets rural traditions. Farmers from the surrounding areas bring their produce, while merchants offer a wide range of goods — creating a vibrant tapestry of Ethiopian daily life.
At midday, enjoy a traditional Ethiopian lunch with injera and wot, accompanied by an authentic coffee ceremony — a cultural ritual that embodies Ethiopia’s hospitality and reflects the spirit of “gursha,” the act of sharing food.
In the afternoon, visit the Ethnological Museum, housed in Haile Selassie’s former palace. Here, you’ll explore Ethiopia’s ethnological history, culture, and way of life, while learning about Emperor Haile Selassie’s pivotal role in the formation of African Unity and the fight for independence.
Afterward, walk to a nearby pottery cooperative, founded by widowed women and now comprising over 300 members. Experience the pottery making process from start to finish, and capture memorable photos and videos of artisans at work.
Finally, drive to Mount Entoto for sweeping panoramic views of Addis Ababa, stretching from east to west. Conclude your day at Sheromeda Market, Ethiopia’s largest traditional clothing market, where you can shop for hand woven dresses, scarves, and cultural attire.
