|  | Aksum is full of history and its Ethiopia`s holiest city. This was the place were King Ezana declared Christianity to be state religion. And it’s the place were the original Arch of the Convent is stored. |
|  | When you stroll through the streets its hard to believe that this tiny little city once was the capital of the powerful Zagwa Empire but there are quite a lot of historic relicts waiting for you to be discovered.
The modern Aksum is a nice and pleasant town with parks and palm tree alleys. Its worth to stay for a couple of days! |

zwackel Thu Dec 28, 2006 15:58 UTC I stayed in Africa Hotel for several weeks in March 2006. The food made me sick several times, we had flees and bugs in our beds and regulary chat-dealers met in the courtyard. | sachara Sun Sep 5, 2004 11:26 UTC Wonderful and informative page of Aksum !! We also stayed in the Africa hotel. |
