site of many remarkable monolithic stone stelae or oblisks is
also a spectacular attraction. The three most important are
decorated to represent multi storeyed buildings complete with
doors and windows.
The blue Nile Falls which is known locally as Tis Isat- 'smoke of fire' is the most dramatic spectacle on either the white or the Blue Nile rivers is also an attraction that charms many tourists.The power of the Blue Nile may best be appreciated just thirty kilometers downstream from the point where the river first leaves Lake Tana. There, a rumble of sound fills the air and the green fields and low hills on either bank tremble to the Blue Nile Falls. It is one of the most dramatic spectacles on either the White or Blue Niles, a vision of natural strength and grandeur. The approach to the falls leads through Tissisat village where travellers find themselves surrounded by a retinue of youthful guides. For a small fee, they will point out many places of historic interest.
Such fascinating ranges of experiences
make Ethiopia a truly land of discovery - brilliant and
beautiful, secretive, mysterious, and extraordinary. One should
see these things for himself if he has to appreciate them. So take a move and visit Ethiopia.
THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE IN THIS ASTONISHING LAND.
