Explore Gondar
After a relaxed breakfast at your hotel, you'll drive to the historic city of Gondar, the first capital under Emperor Fasilides. Gondar is home to a series of castles built by various emperors over 236 years, giving the city a distinctive European feel rather than an African one. In the afternoon, visit Fasilidas Palace, the oldest and perhaps the most impressive of the castles in the area. Next, head to the Church of Debre Berhan Selassie (Light of the Trinity), known for its stunning frescoes, cherubs, and paintings. The church is also linked to the Ark of the Covenant, as it was once considered a potential resting place for the sacred relic. In the evening, enjoy some downtime at the spa or relax by the pool, taking in the panoramic views of this beautiful location.
