Discover Ethiopia’s wonders with Abe - Abeje is a very knowledgeable guide, with a professional and caring personality. He is cordial, respectful and speaks very good English. My three day tour with him was very informative and fun. Whether you decide to visit Lalibela, or want to explore other regions in Ethiopia, contact him. You will not be sorry. Thanks, Abeje.

Abeje is the man you gotta meet. Best guide ever - Abeje was an amazing tour guide. Lalibela was my first stop in Ethiopia and I was traveling alone; therefore Abeje was my first friend made there. He made my time very special. I told him my spiritual push inspiring me in coming to such a sacred place and the breadth of his knowledge was inspiring. He knew I’d come seeking a meaningful experience and he tailored the tour to fit my spiritual needs. It was also nice going to eat at a local place with him. I made a video / mini documentary of our time together. You can see the guy clearly has a heart of gold. Highly recommend him as your guide.

Extraordinary ❤️ - A Magical Ethiopian Christmas in Lalibela with Abeje Our visit to Lalibela during Ethiopian Christmas (Genna) was nothing short of extraordinary. The town itself is a breathtaking window into history and spirituality, but what truly elevated our experience was our exceptional tour guide, Abeje. Abeje's knowledge of Lalibela's iconic rock-hewn churches, their symbolism, and the ancient traditions surrounding Genna left us in awe. Every story he shared was filled with depth and passion, making the experience not just a tour, but a journey into the heart of Ethiopia’s rich heritage. Beyond his expertise, Abeje’s kindness and attentiveness were remarkable. He ensured every moment of our visit was meaningful and tailored to our curiosity. His ability to connect history with the present-day celebrations of Ethiopian Christmas was mind-blowing and deeply inspiring. From witnessing the vibrant and spiritual Genna ceremonies to understanding the intricate details of the architecture and culture, Lalibela became so much more than a destination—it felt like home. If you're planning to visit Lalibela, especially during Ethiopian Christmas, I can’t recommend Abeje enough as a guide. His extraordinary kindness and unparalleled knowledge will make your experience unforgettable. Thank you, Lalibela, and thank you, Abeje, for such an incredible journey!
