The medieval rock hewn churches of Lalibela are a world wonder by any definition. Carved out of the surrounding bedrock in the 12th & 13th centuries, the churches were intended to be a "New Jerusalem", an African Jerusalem. The greatest of these churches is the iconic Bete Giyorgis. Today the 11 churches are part open air museum and part active pilgrimage destination for Ethiopians. The combination of the two help to firmly secure its place among greatest historic sites I have visited. #LifeAtExpedia #churches #ethiopia

I arrived to Lalibela, Ethiopia, during the Timkat celebration, a few days ago. I knew that I have to reach Bete Giyorgis early in the morning, in order to take good pictures of the amazing rock-hewn monolithic church. #History
An Ethiopian Christmas morning where people make their way by foot to gather at this holy place. #Lalibela #Ethiopia

Stayed in the treehouse and it was excellent. The view of the sunset was visible and I slept like a baby each night. Will definitely stay there again. The staff were friendly the dinner options were great. Breakfast options were limited but what was there was tasty. Relatively close to the Rock churches ...

I could not enjoy the property as for the 10 days that I was there most the time I was ill. I think this may have to do with the lack of deep cleaning. Hot water was also an issue. It took several request for a heater. The Wi-Fi never worked.
