Overview
This five-day historical itinerary combined Addis Ababa and Lalibela with a 2020 eclipse event.
Day-by-day itinerary
The sequence as it ran in the past programme, kept for reference. It is not a current departure.
Day 2
Lalibela's first church group
The next stage connects to Lalibela and introduces its first church group. This remains a historical route sequence; flights, entry arrangements and any active departure would need an entirely new confirmation.
Addis Ababa → Lalibela
Day 3
Churches and local religious life
Explore the remaining church group and the town market. A saint's-day celebration also formed part of this historical programme; that past occasion is not a forthcoming event.
Lalibela
Day 4
Highland monasteries
The fourth day combines a church-service interest with monasteries in the surrounding highlands. A contemporary version would need permission, a current religious calendar and a visitor-appropriate access plan.
Lalibela
Day 5
Historical eclipse occasion
This historical itinerary ended with eclipse viewing at Ben Abeba. The astronomical event has passed, and no current eclipse-viewing departure is offered.
Lalibela → Ben Abeba
