• Lalibela - Rock-Hewn Churches - The ancient 12th-century rock-hewn churches of Lalibela are categorized into two primary groups: the Northwestern cluster and the Southeastern cluster.

In the morning, the Northwestern cluster is explored, featuring five of the most remarkable and interconnected churches, including:

Bete Medhane Alem (House of the Saviour of the World): Recognized as the largest monolithic church globally, it is encircled by 34 exterior columns and houses an ancient golden cross believed to have belonged to King Lalibela.

Bete Maryam (House of Mary): Among the oldest and most ornately decorated churches, dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Bete Meskel (House of the Cross): A smaller chapel linked to Bete Maryam, showcasing a simple yet graceful design.

Bete Denagel (House of Virgins): A modest chapel honoring female martyrs.

Bete Mikael (House of Michael) and Bete Golgotha (House of Golgotha): This church is thought to contain the tomb of King Lalibela.

• Lalibela - Rock-Hewn Churches - In the afternoon, the Southeastern cluster of churches is visited, along with the iconic Bete Giyorgis (Church of St. George), which stands alone.

The Southeastern cluster of Lalibela’s churches includes some of the most awe-inspiring and spiritually significant structures, such as:

Bete Gabriel-Rufael (House of Gabriel and Raphael): A twin church connected by a tunnel, believed to have been a royal palace before its conversion into a place of worship.

Bete Merkorios (House of Merkorios): Once thought to be a prison or court, now a church adorned with beautiful frescoes and featuring an underground passage.

Bete Amanuel (House of Emmanuel): An exemplary model of Axumite architecture, possibly serving as a royal chapel.

Bete Abba Libanos (House of Abba Libanos): A small yet significant church, reputedly built in a single night with angelic assistance.

The tour concludes with a visit to the purely monolithic church of Saint George (Bet Giorgis), constructed by King Lalibela in honor of the patron Saint George.
