Best time to Visit

Good time to visit

Average time to visit

The best time to visit Ethiopia is from mid to late October until May. During this time the highlands are ideal for hiking especially after the rainy season has just finished as the landscape bursts into life.

Due to the high altitude of the country in comparison to its location conditions get quite cool at night. Temperatures generally can reach above 30°C in lowland areas, whereas the highland temperature can dip below 20°C. Addis Ababa has a relatively even temperature year-round.

Description

Yared Zema International Hotel is a modern property in the heart of Axum, close to key historic sights. It has a selection of facilities and accommodation options which will ensure your stay in the city is a comfortable one.

Yared Zema International Hotel is a modern city hotel located within walking distance of the Stelae Park obelisks and St. Mary of Zion Church. Opened in 2014, it’s one of the newer hotels in the city. The hotel’s name draws its influence from Axum-born musician Saint Yared, who introduced the idea of music to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and created the traditional Zema chant. 
 
All 60 rooms are cosy and well furnished, with comfortable bedding and bathroom amenities. Large windows provide guests with views of Axum city. Junior suites offer a living space and Jacuzzi, perfect for adding a touch of indulgence to your stay.  The hotel serves a range of delicious local and international dishes at the restaurant.
