individualized itinerary.

birder or on a spiritual quest, we are eager to share the beauty and wonder of
our country with you.
The following are the original Wukro, Tigrai and Negash
tours. There are additional several flights now to Axum, so you can start on
these tours without delay.
One of the tours can include the Wukro cluster which is one of the six clusters in the Tigrai region of Northern Ethiopia. In this cluster, rock-hewn churches and monasteries are still vital places of worship and pilgrimage for rural people and testimonials to earliest Christianity. The treks and the short hikes as well, are endowed with untouched natural beauty.
The following churches are at present available for visit in this region:

The following churches are at present available for visit in this region:
There are an estimated 153 rock hewn churches but many have not been explored by anyone but early archeologists dating back to the 1920's. The churches are not all in the Adigrat - Wukro region and many are difficult to access. It is important to discuss with Efhrem your trekking and climbing skills before deciding on the locations you wish to visit. All tours are based on individual abilities and requirements.
Unlike many tour groups and guides, Debra Damo Tours are flexible. Prices are discussed with each customer and tailored to allow each tour to reflect the interests, trekking abilities and the budget each individual is operating on. Jeep, fuel, driver and guide are necessary for each trip. However, hotels may or may not be included in the cost if a customer wishes to pay for a hotel themselves. Meals are can also be included or purchased separately. The number of people coming on the trip will also determine cost.
Negash is the site where the Emperor Asihima gave refuge to the Holy Prophet's family and followers including Rukiya, Uma Habiba and Uma Salama in 615 AD. A two day pilgrimage takes place on the 10th day of Moharem every year. This is a joyous time of celebration, but Negash is a very important pilgrimage place any time of the year for Muslims and an interesting place for all visitors to Ethiopia to see.
Ethiopia is full of wonders. It is magical. Please come and share it with us.
