The National Museum also exhibits historical artifacts that testify to more than 3,000 years of history, art, culture and archaeological discoveries of the country.
We will take a break with a traditional Ethiopian lunch and coffee.
Then we proceed further to Merkato: One of the largest open-air markets in Africa. There is nothing like Mercato, it is truly big and you can find anything. We will walk or drive through the market to live an authentic local experience.

Return to the hotel.
