Overview

Step into a world where history, spirituality, and breathtaking landscapes come together. Just a few hours from Addis Ababa, Debre Libanos Monastery offers a soul-stirring journey into one of Ethiopia’s most revered religious sites, nestled in the stunning cliffs of the Jemma River Gorge.

Founded in the 13th century by Saint Tekle Haymanot, Debre Libanos is more than a monastery—it’s a sanctuary of ancient faith, miraculous legends, and timeless architecture. Walk through sacred grounds, explore the intricately painted church, and feel the peaceful presence of centuries of devotion. You’ll also visit the tomb of Saint Tekle Haymanot, one of Ethiopia’s most beloved saints.
