Today, we bring you the final installment of Sara Genene’s top five reasons to visit her home town of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia.  Needless to say no write-up on Ethiopia would be complete without a mention of its food.

Ethiopian cuisine is as unique and diverse as the country and is worth experimenting. It is in the city of Addis Ababa where the taste of Ethiopian adventure starts with the national staple “Injera” a fermented pancake like bread straight from the oven.  Through these pictures, you can have a virtual introduction and enticing invitation to the world of Ethiopian cuisine.

Along with the national dish called “Wot”, a type of spicy stew that comes in many varieties and test.

It is a city where you tear off a piece of “Injera”, scoop “Wot” with your hand, and discover the exotic and real test of Ethiopia.

Being the hub of the country, Addis Ababa is where you can experience authentic regional delights that come from different parts of the country through many Ethiopian traditional restaurants.

Addis is the only city in the world that offers the genuine taste of Ethiopia
