Debre Libanos, a renowned sanctuary for the Gelada Baboon and various bird species, is a monastery complex perched on a terrace between a cliff and the gorge of a tributary of the Abbay River (the Blue Nile).
This monastery stands as a testament to one of the largest acts of Christian martyrdom in the 20th century. In 1937, Italian soldiers under Benito Mussolini’s fascist regime tragically killed approximately 300 Ethiopian monks at this sacred site.
The tour provides breathtaking views of the Blue Nile Gorge and the historic Portuguese bridge, along with a visit to a rural village to experience local lifestyle and enjoy beer tasting at Addis Ababa’s oldest brewery.
