The 7 Best Axum Tours

7 reviewed

Axum keeps the stelae fields, the rock tombs and the chapel where the Ark is said to rest, and most of it is walkable in a day with someone who knows the ground. These are the best Axum tours: what each covers, how long it runs, what the site ticket costs, and which ones pair Axum with Yeha or the Tigray churches.
