Highlights

Drive from Axum to Mekelle visiting Churches

Tigray Region - In one day you will visit three churches; Abuna Yemata Guh; Maryam Korkor and Daniel Korkor. All of which are very different in style but stunningly beautiful in their own way.
To visit Abuna Yemata Guh, walking for about an hour to commence a steep ascent up the side of the Gheralta massif. This steep ascent soon turn into a climb using foot holds and hand holds chipped into the sandstone rock by the passage of many hands and feet. The climb and the walk along very narrow ledges with sheer drops to the side is not one for the faint hearted. The church itself can be reached by walking out on a ledge one meter wide and with a 200m drop to the left hand side. At the entrance there is a small cave and a wooden door built into the rock.
Of the three, Maryam Korkor is the most impressive architecturally. A huge, high ceiling is supported by 12 free standing pillars. Looking at it you could not help but wonder how the architect managed to carve so high from the ground. afternoon drive back to mekele

Incredible experience provided by our caring hosts and the mind blowing scenery. - Amazing, at times mind blowing experience. The night time hike at the volcano was the highlight for me. I’ve never felt so in touch with being alive on this planet. The trip was super well organized. Food (vegetarian) was superb and impressively prepared on-site with little means. We felt safe throughout the trip and the guides and drivers were the best. We had a blast.

The best experience of Ethiopia - We were doing 10 days tour to northern Ethiopia with Arre, including Danakil. It was an unforgeable experience. Arre was very professional and helpful during whole our trip and definitely exceeded our expectations. We felt really safe all the time and he was always there for us. We came back full of wonderful impressions from Ethiopia. Highly recommended!

The Best. - The best and most devoted company in the region. Very accurate in time and prices, which is rare in Ethiopia. I recommend it to everyone who wants to tour the whole country. Their specialty is the Tigray and Danakil region. p.s. Tigray is very peaceful region.

Highly recommend! - Arre organized amazing trips for me and my group of friends. We had a huge luck meeting this young and enthusiastic man who was dedicated to his clients and work. I highly recommend Arre tours for any excursions, day trips and hotel booking in all Tigray and Ethiopia. He shared a lot of local stories and showed us nice places, things we would not find on our own.

wonderful organization - I spent some days with Solomon on a tour organized by him. He is a scrupulous and competent guide. He knows perfectly the places where he takes you and always knows how to solve any problem that may arise. He is also an intelligent and helpful person, an excellent company! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to tour Tigray
