Addis Abeba (Amharies: አዲስ አበባ, Oromo: Finfinne) is die hoofstad en grootste stad van Ethiopië. Dit het in 2016 ongeveer 3,35 miljoen inwoners gehad en groei baie vinnig soos baie Afrikaans stede.
Verstaan
Daar is meer as 120 internasionale missies en ambassades in Addis Abeba, wat die stad 'n middelpunt vir internasionale diplomasie maak. Afrika. Die hoofkwartier van die Afrika - unie en die VN se ekonomiese kommissie vir Afrika (UNECA) is albei in die stad. Die Europese Unie en die Verenigde State albei het twee afvaardigings in Addis Abeba, een vir bilaterale betrekkinge met Ethiopië en een vir die Afrika-unie.
Die stad is verdeel in tien distrikte, bekend as substede, en dan verder in wyke verdeel (kebeles). Voorstede sluit in Shiro Meda en Entoto in die noorde, Urael en Bole (die tuiste van die internasionale lughawe Bole) in die ooste, Nifas Silk in die suidooste, Mekanisa in die suide en Keraniyo en Kolfe in die weste. Baie van die rykste mense woon in die suidooste (Bole), suidweste (ou lughawe), CMC, Ayat en Lamberet. Die stad is een van die eerstes in Afrika suid van die Sahara wat openbare vervoer per spoor het. Die spoorwegstelsel wat met Chinese hulp gebou is, word dikwels toegeskryf aan die vinnige verandering van gekoppelde dele van die stad.

Addis Abeba het 'n subtropiese hooglandklimaat (Cwb), 'n verskeidenheid van die gematigde oseaniese klimaat, met 'n nat somer (vergelykbaar met Mexikostad). Die gemiddelde hoogtepunte is tussen 21 ° C (70 ° F) en 25 ° C (77 ° F). Die gemiddelde laagtepunte is tussen 7 ° C (45 ° F) en 11 ° C (52 ° F). Die warmste maande is Februarie tot Mei, maar nie 'warm' soos mense hulle Afrika voorstel nie: die meeste hotelle het nie lugversorging nie. Die temperatuur en die klimaat kan wissel as gevolg van die hoogte. Addis Abeba het 132 reëndae per jaar en teken jaarliks 1 165 mm reënval aan.
Die temperatuur in Addis Abeba is opvallend konstant van maand tot maand: die jaarlikse temperatuurvariasie is laag met ongeveer 4 ° C (7,2 ° F). Vanweë sy hoogte van 2.400 m (7.900 voet) is die dagvariasietemperatuur hoog, met gemiddeld ongeveer 14 ° C (25 ° F) tussen dag en nag: dit is dikwels 27 ° C (81 ° F) by etenstyd en 3 ° C (37 ° F) snags; neem altyd gedurende die aand 'n tweede laag saam.
Seisoene
- Die droë winterseisoen is van Oktober tot Maart.
- Die moesonseisoen is van Junie tot September. Selfs as die temperatuur dieselfde is as die ander maande, lyk Julie en Augustus kouer en minder gemaklik as gevolg van 80% relatiewe humiditeit, is daar min sonure en daaglikse reën: mangelontsteking en verkoue kom gereeld voor. Reën veroorsaak ook modder en maak grondpaaie seepglad. Oorstromings vind plaas op paaie wat verkeersopeenhopings veroorsaak, veral aan die begin van die reënseisoen (einde Junie), wanneer die afvoerpype van die water afgevloei word deur afval en afvalstowwe wat gedurende die 8 maande droë seisoen opgehoop het. Donderstorms (kort, maar swaar reën) is gereeld en geïsoleer. Dit is byvoorbeeld nie ongewoon om na 'n ander gebied van die stad te gaan vir 'n middagete van 2 uur in Bole en nat paaie te ontdek as u terugkom na Arada nie. In Augustus is dit ook moontlik om 'n bietjie hael te ervaar.
- Die warm somerseisoen rondom April en Mei is bykans onmerkbaar in Addis Abeba (meer sigbaar in ander dele van Ethiopië).
Gaan in
Met die vliegtuig
1 Addis Abeba Bole Internasionale Lughawe (VOEG BY IATA) is die besigste lughawe in Oos-Afrika. Dit is die belangrikste middelpunt vir Ethiopian Airlines, een van die suksesvolste en betroubaarste lugdienste in Afrika. Die lughawe huisves ook Lufthansa, Air Djibouti, Eritrean Airlines, Sudan Airways, Kenya Airways, Rwanda Air, Saudi Airlines, Turkish Airways, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Egypt Air en vlieg Dubai. Daar is daaglikse vlugte vanaf Europa, die Verenigde State, Asië, en baie Afrika-stede insluitend Accra, Bamako, Brazzaville, Kaïro, Dakar, Dar es Salaam, Djiboeti, Khartoem, Harare, Johannesburg, Nairobi. Vanuit die VSA is daar direk vlugte vanaf LOS, Newark Liberty, en Washington DC., stop by een van die twee Dublin of Lomé.
Daar is twee terminale. Terminal 1 (die ouer, kleiner een) is vir alle binnelandse vlugte en die meeste vlugte na stede in naburige lande (Djiboeti, Nairobi, Khartoem, ens.). Terminal 2 (die nuwer gebou in 2003) is van toepassing op alle ander internasionale vlugte van Ethiopian Airlines en die meeste ander maatskappye. Reëlings kan verander, kyk eers. Terminal 2 is na bewering die grootste terminale in Afrika suid van die Sahara. Daar is kitsbanke wat Visa- en Mastercard- en forex-dienste aanvaar wat 'n wye verskeidenheid geldeenhede gebruik.
Toegang tot die terminale is vanaf Julie 2019 beperk. Huurmotors en almal wat u ontmoet, sal op die parkeerterrein wees, alhoewel 'n dosyn van die beste hotelle steeds 'n hut in die aankomingsgebied het. Soortgelyke reëls is van toepassing op die ander lughawens in die land, beide vir aankomste en vertrek. Baie hotelle sal 'n voertuig stuur om gaste op te laai as u dit gereël het. Sheraton Addis, Dreamliner, Hilton Addis, die meeste ander hotelle en baie gewilde gastehuise bied 'n gereelde pendeldiens vir gaste. Daar is 'n halte van die openbare vervoer 'n bietjie buite, onder die snelwegbrug. Vanaf 2017 is die lughawe meer as 4 km vanaf die naaste Light Rail Transit Station, wat dit in die praktyk nie verbind nie. In die toekoms word 'n nuwe lyn beplan om die Bole-lughawe met die res van die Light Rail Transit-netwerk te verbind.
Daar is 'n vaste tarief van 300 birr om vanaf die lughawe na feitlik enige plek in die middestad te ry vanaf Desember 2018. Taxibestuurders kom op 'n parkeerterrein langs die lughawe bymekaar. Heel waarskynlik sal hulle jou nader en skree "Taxi!". Legitêre bestuurders moet hul motor in geel / groen kleur laat merk en 'n lisensie op 'n sigbare plek moet plaas.
Buitelanders word dikwels begroet deur 'n menigte inwoners wat probeer om hul bagasie in motors te laai. Hulle is grotendeels skadeloos en soek net 'n fooitjie, maar dit kan maklik wees om 'n sak te verloor. 'N Wenk vir 'n klein taak soos om bagasie in 'n motor te laai, is 5 tot 15 birr (ignoreer versoeke om meer geld net omdat u 'n buitelander is). As u een persoon het wat u help, sal twintig 'n fooi vra. As u 'n bestuurder op die lughawe kom haal, sal hulle tipies vir u sorg. Loop veral nie snags alleen deur die lughawe nie.
Die hoof Etiopiese kaartjiekantoor in Addis is na bewering in die Hilton Hotel.
Met die motor
Die meeste van die hoofpaaie is in 'n goeie toestand:
- Van Asmara en Dese: Snelweg 1
- Van Axum en Bahir Dar: Snelweg 3
- Van Djiboeti en Nazret (Adama): snelweg 4
- Van Gambela Nasionale Park en Gambela: Snelweg 5
- Van Jimma en Giyon: Snelweg 6
Trans-Afrikaanse snelweg 4 vanaf Kaïro en Bahir Dar gaan deur Addis Abeba op pad na Nairobi en Kaapstad.
Met die bus
Terminale
- 2 Autobus Tera (አውቶቢስ ተራ የረጅም ርቀት ባስ መናኸሪያ) (hoek van Fitawrari Habte Giyorgis St en Sentraal-Afrikaanse Republiek St / Somalia St, aan die noordwestekant van Mercato). Dit is die belangrikste busterminaal waar die meeste nasionale busse aankom en vertrek.
- 3 Ras Mekoninlaan (naby die treinstasie). Busse na / van Adama (Nazret), Bishoftu, Dire Dawa, Nairobi, Lalibela, Shahemene, Awasa en Bahir Dar is of was hier. Julie 2011 - Ras Makonnen - of La Gare - het gesluit en verhuis na die Akaki Kality-distrik in Sierra Leone St (Debre Zeit Rd).
- 4 Asco. Busse wes na Nekempte en verder ry vanaf Asco op die ou Ambo-pad.
Met die trein
Die spoorlyn wat Addis Abeba verbind met die hawestad Djiboeti, via Dire Dawa geopen in 2016/17. Reistyd is ongeveer twaalf uur en vanaf 2019 is daar elke tweede dag een trein. Kaartjies kan by die treinstasie of by 'n kaartjiekantoor langs die ou koloniaal gekoop word Legehar stasie ('n portmanteau met die Franse naam vir stasie, la gare) op Churchill Ave.
- 5 Addis Abeba Furi-Lebu-treinstasie. Hierdie indrukwekkende nuwe stasie is ongelukkig amper 20 km suid van die middestad geleë, ver van alles af. Om 'n taxi te neem is die beste opsie. Verwag tot 45 minute vir 'n reis na die sentrale stad.
Kry rond
Baie min strate het name en as dit wel voorkom, word dit miskien nie korrek op 'n kaart genoem nie; gebruik landmerke om deur die stad te navigeer.
Met die bus

Blou en wit minibusse
Blou en wit minibusse / taxi's ry redelik doeltreffend deur die stad. Aangesien hulle meestal vol mense is, is dit ook baie goedkoop; gewoonlik tussen 1–3 birr, afhangende van hoe ver u gaan. Om 'n minibus te haal, staan langs die pad en groet dit. Dit kan oral gedoen word waar die bus kan stop. Die geleier binne roep die bestemming uit, en as dit is waarheen u wil gaan: gaan aan. U betaal die dirigent as hy u beduie dat hy geld wil hê (wat 'n paar minute kan duur). Om kleingeld te kry. Om uit te kom sê "woraj alle", of net "woraj". Dit is die moeite werd om 'n Ethiopiese gids by u te hê as u die eerste keer hierdie taxi's gebruik, aangesien dit redelik chaoties kan wees om uit te vind watter minibusse waarheen gaan en van watter plekke.
Oranje / geel openbare busse
Hierdie busse verbind die hele stad teen 'n tarief van 0,5–3 birr (2016). Daar is geen skedules of kaarte beskikbaar nie, maar as u in 'n groot straat wag waar 'n skare bymekaarkom, kan u ander mense of die kassier - wat altyd in 'n hut by die agterdeur is - na u bestemming vra. Lyn 31 is byvoorbeeld 'n maklike lyn vanaf Meskel Square na die Nasionale Museum of Trinity Church. Die busse is dikwels oorvol, dus hou u besittings dop
Met die taxi
Voorbeeld van taxipryse
Vanaf Februarie 2014 |
Uber werk nog nie hier nie, maar daar is 'n paar alternatiewe. Zayrides is een wat gewerk het, alhoewel dit ietwat slegter is. Dit is dikwels makliker om 'n taxi op straat te kry, tensy u êrens binne 'n restaurant of hotel is totdat die bestuurder daar aankom. Hulle sal u gewoonlik skakel as hulle die rit aanvaar om u ligging te bevestig, en dan weer as hulle aankom. Die ligging van die motor in die app word dikwels nie bygewerk nie.
Klein blou Lada-taxi's
Klein blou Lada-taxi's is duurder. Onderhandeling is die norm en u moet dikwels redelik hard druk om 'n winskoop as 'n buitelander te kry. Hulle kan gekontrakteer word vir 'n enkele reis, 'n uur of 'n volle dag; net onderhandel. Moenie verbaas wees as die prys van die taxi snags vir dieselfde rit styg nie. Die reis Piazza-Bole-lughawe kan byvoorbeeld tot 100 birr per dag wees, maar styg na donker (2016).
Geel taxi's
Geel en groen taxi's hang gewoonlik rondom hotelle soos Sheraton. Dit is duurder, maar betroubaar. Gebruik hierdie motors as u bereid is om te betaal vir gemoedsrus, effens beter bestuurders en 'n motor wat nie in die Flintstones verskyn nie.
Met die spoorlyn
Die Chinese het in die 2010's 'n stelsel van ligte spoorlyne (een van die eerste in Afrika suid van die Sahara) gebou. Daar is twee lyne wat naby Meskel-plein kruis:
- Wes-Oos groen lyn 1 is vanaf Tor Hailoch stasie na Ayat.
- Noord-Suid blou lyn 2 is van Kality stasie na Menelik II-plein stasie (aka Piazza).
Die koste is 2 birr vir 'n reis met 8 stasies en tot 6 birr om oral heen te gaan. Die ontwikkeling langs die spoorwegstasies duur in 'n ongelooflike tempo en baie voormalige krotte is vervang deur betreklik luukse behuisingsondernemings en kleinhandel.
In spitstye is die spoorweg so druk dat dit amper gevaarlik is.
Lughawe pendel dienste
As u 'n lughawe-pendel na u hotelle of ander bestemming benodig, is daar 'n paar taxi's wat buite die lughawe parkeer. Hulle neem u waarskynlik oral waarheen u wil gaan, maar onderhandel oor die fooi voordat u inklim. As u gemoedsrus wil hê, kan u 'n pendeldiens bespreek iEthio.com voordat u aankom.
Sien
As u langs die pad loop van Meskel Square na Sidest Kilo, sal u dit waarskynlik nogal vermaaklik en interessant vind. U sien die Africa Hall, die paleise en die parlementsgebou, die Hilton Hotel, die wonderlike argitektoniese avontuur van 'n gebou waar die Ministerie van Buitelandse Sake aangebied word, die Sheraton Hotel, die eerste moderne skool (wat keiser Menelik II in die 1880's gebou het. ), die Trinity Ortodokse katedraal, die Nasionale Museum en die Addis Abeba Universiteit (wat 'n voormalige paleis en museum huisves).
Arat Kilo-laan word gekenmerk deur 'n standbeeld wat ter herdenking van die Etiopiese dag van oorwinning tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog gebou is, terwyl Sidest Kilo-laan gekenmerk word deur 'n standbeeld ter herdenking van sowat 39 000 inwoners van Addis Abeba wat deur Italiaanse fascistiese troepe gedood is. Rondom Arat Kilo vind u 'n deel van 'n ou stad wat bekend staan as Serategna Sefer (letterlik die woongebied van arbeiders).
As u verby Sidest Kilo ry, word die pad steiler en baie van die besienswaardighede sal aan die regterkant van die pad wees. Die Entoto-kollege (voorheen Teferi Mekonnen-skool) en die Amerikaanse ambassade is aan hierdie kant van die straat. Na die ambassade is daar 'n ope mark genaamd Shiro Meda waar tradisionele vakmanne hul tuisgemaakte materiaal, potte en ander kunsvlyt verkoop. Die mark is aan die voet van die Entoto-gebergte, wat tot 3 300 m (10 827 voet) bo seespieël styg.
U kan 'n taxi of 'n bus na die berg neem, tensy u van plan is om dit self te probeer. Op die berg vind u die eerste kerke van Addis Abeba, genaamd Saint Mary en Saint Raguel, en 'n kleiner paleis van Menelik II. Om die berg te stap, veral tussen die kerke, is verfrissend en gee die kans om die plattelandse lewe, die stad, die bos en die ongelooflike pragtige landskap te sien wat deur landerye en boerepaaie gekruis word. Dit is van hier dat Menelik II en koningin Taitu die vestiging van Addis Abeba verwek het. U kan 'n idee hê van die stadsplan deur die stad van hier af te besigtig.

- 4 Nasionale Museum van Ethiopië, Koning George VI St. (tussen Arat Kilo Ave en die Universiteit van Addis Abeba Nagraadse Skool). 08:30–17:00. 'N Swak vertoon, maar interessante museum. Die bekendste uitstalling is die replika van Lucy, 'n vroeë hominid. Aangesien die Ethiopiese beskawing een van die oudste ter wêreld is, strek die artefakte in die museum duisende jare, waaronder sommige van sy vroegste dae.

Die moeite werd om vinnig te besoek, duur nie meer as 15 minute nie. Die gedenkteken is nie 'n ensiklopediese versameling nie, maar 'n eenvoudige en kragtige herinnering. Donasie.
Kerke en moskees
- 8 Anwar-moskee, Mercato distrik. Dit is nogal indrukwekkend.
- 9 Kerk van Gola Saint Michael, middestad (langs die Federale immigrasie-kantoor). Baie interessante plek en een van die vele ou kerke in Addis Abeba.

Dit is gebou om die bevryding van die land van die Italianers te herdenk, en baie slagoffers wat deur die Italianers tydens die besetting vermoor is, word hier begrawe. Die inwoners noem die kerk Haile Selassie-kerk omdat die liggaam van keiser Haile Selassie in 2000 hierheen verskuif is. Rondom die katedraal is 'n begraafplaas met noemenswaardige Ethiopiërs, waaronder patriarge, eerste ministers, atlete, musikante en sokkerkommentators! Die suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst is in die kerkhof begrawe. Daar is 'n klein museum op die terrein en 'n aantal kleiner kerke. Soos met alle kerke in Ethiopië, moet skoene buite gelaat word.
- 11 Medhane Alem-katedraal, Kameroen St, substad Bole (naby Bole Internasionale Lughawe). Hierdie katedraal, waarvan die naam "Verlosser van die wêreld" beteken, is die grootste katedraal in Ethiopië en die tweede grootste in Afrika. Gebou in 1890, het dit 'n relatief eenvoudige buitekant, maar 'n wonderlike kleurvolle interieur, veral in die koepel.

- 16 Tiglachin ("Our Struggle") monument. Soms verkeerdelik gebel Derg Monument, wat Ethiopiërs aanstootlik vind omdat dit nie 'n monument is om die Derg-bewind te vereer nie. Hierdie massiewe standbeeldmonument is in die 1980's gebou. Die partye het 'n huldeblyk aan Ethiopiese en Kubaanse soldate wat in die oorlog teen Somalië in 1977-1978 gesterf het.

Dit is waarskynlik die webwerf wat die beste aangebied word in Ethiopië, die troeteldierprojek van die Eerste Minister, wie se kantoor ook op die oog af is. Laat dit 2-3 uur toe om te besoek. Let daarop dat die sekuriteit buitengewoon streng is, met geen kos of water wat ingebring kan word nie (maar dit binne gekoop kan word) en dat kameras in 'n kleedkamer gelaat moet word, maar selfone is goed.

Leer
Addis Abeba Universiteit is die grootste en die oudste universiteit in Ethiopië. Dit is oorspronklik 'University College of Addis Abeba' genoem, en is in 1962 hernoem tot die voormalige Ethiopiese keiser Haile Selassie I en het sy huidige naam in 1975 ontvang. Alhoewel die universiteit ses van sy sewe kampusse in Addis Abeba het (die sewende) is in Bishoftu geleë, ongeveer 45 kilometer daarvandaan), en hou ook takke in baie stede in Ethiopië, wat lei tot die aanspraak dat hy 'die grootste universiteit in Afrika' is.
Die regering wys gekwalifiseerde studente aan hierdie universiteite toe na voltooiing van die sekondêre skool. Studente woon ook ander private kolleges by, soos Eenheidskollege. Addis Ababa Universiteit is in 1950 gestig op versoek van Haile Selassie deur 'n Kanadese Jesuïet, dr Lucien Matte as 'n tweejarige kollege, en het die volgende jaar begin. Gedurende die volgende twee jaar is 'n verbintenis met die Universiteit van Londen ontwikkel is.
Daar is ook Teologiese Kollege van die Heilige Drie-eenheid, 'n teologiese hoërskoolskool in Addis Abeba, Ethiopië. Dit bied godsdiens- en sekulêre onderrig aan geestelikes en leke van die Ethiopiese Ortodokse Kerk, en wil ook 'n sentrum wees vir teologiese en kerklike studie vir almal Oosterse Ortodokse Kerke ook.
Die universiteitsafdeling is in 1942 gestig as 'n hoërskool deur keiser Haile Selassie en is op 5 Oktober 1960 bygevoeg en die afdeling vir elementêre onderwys word op 18 Desember 1961 uitgeskakel en die kollege word een van die geoktrooieerde eenhede van hierdie eerste Nasionale Universiteit van Ethiopië.
Werk
- Daar is 'n groot vraag na IT-professionele persone.
- Baie beginnerondernemings soek individue met rekenaarnetwerke en konsultasie-agtergrond.
- Addis Abeba het die hoogste aantal NRO's in Afrika, en moontlik in die hele Derde Wêreld. Hulle is bekend daarvoor dat hulle goeie salarisse vir hul werknemers betaal.
- Volgens Nazret.com is die werkloosheidsyfer in Addis laag (8% van die bevolking in Addis Abeba was werkloos in 2008).
- Baie uitgewekenes werk in NRO's en klein IT-ondernemings.
- In vergelyking met ander Afrika-stede, het Addis Abeba 'n groot aantal groot, medium en klein rekenaaropleidingskole, regerings- en private leerinstellings. Baie studente wat daar bywoon, hoop om 'n IT- of konsultasiewerk in die stad se baie knap werksmark te bekom.

Eet
Kos is oor die algemeen goedkoop. Sorg dat u die nasionale gereg probeer injera ten minste een keer, want daar is geen ander soort voedsel nie. Dit is 'n gis gerysde plat brood met 'n unieke, effens sponsagtige tekstuur. Dit word tradisioneel van tefmeel gemaak. By die maak van injera word tefmeel met water gemeng en toegelaat om te gis, soos met suurdeegvoorgereg. As gevolg van hierdie proses het injera 'n effense suur smaak. Dit is wat die plaaslike bevolking vir ontbyt, middagete en aandete eet. Die meeste gewone Ethiopiese restaurante het dit, en 'n bediening vir 2 mense met gratis hervulling kan so goedkoop wees as 15 bier.

- Addis is safer than most cities in Africa. Gang violence and similar serious activities are unusual. However, you may encounter some pick-pockets en con-artists around and inside Bole Airport, Mercato, Piazza and many other areas. Keep your belongings close, and pay attention to your surroundings. A common tactic is to show you a tray of things to buy with one hand and to try your pocket with the other. The good news is most of these pick-pockets are unarmed and young boys. If they know that you are aware of what they are up to, they may get intimidated and go away. However, some can be quite persistent and even involve older boys.
- Watch out for the spitting scam which happens in Piazza area. Typically it involves someone "accidentally" spitting on you, offering a handkerchief / tissue to clean it up, trying your pockets while you are distracted by this "accident" and then jumping into a companion's car with your belongings.
- Someone might also grab your arm and act crazy pretending to kick you as a distraction while his accomplice tries your pockets.
- As most Ethiopians are very welcoming, there is an infamous scam where young locals "befriend" tourists and invite them over after a nice day together to celebrate a "special holiday". You will get fed a lot of khat leaves, a chewing drug, and have a good time with them, but in the end you will be asked for a tremendous amount of money for the khat as they claim it is a "special" quality. Be aware of too friendly locals and ask if there is a price to anything, even if they claim you are invited.
- Be aware of your belongings on Line Taxis: They usually get very crowded – keep your wallet/phone/bag close to you.
- The major and important roads and areas are patrolled by the 'Federal Police' or, as the city residents refer them Federal. They have a reputation of being merciless with suspected criminals. In contrast, the Addis-Ababa city police, who most of the time patrol the less important city streets, markets and neighborhoods are more tolerant and less respected police officers.
- For all emergencies ☏911. In Addis, major streets are generally safe at night.
- Unlike in other African cities, in Addis-Ababa, police officers never approach foreigners to ask them to present a passport, ID or "legal" papers. Once you show your passport at the airport, you are free to move around pretty much anywhere. The only time you need your passport or ID is for hotel reservation and other similar and few instances. However, it is important to have your ID with you at all times.
Hanteer
Watch what you drink or you can fall sick. It is important to remember to only drink bottled water. There are many brands to choose from; always check the plastic seal on all bottles before paying any vendor. Visitors are warned against eating vegetables such as those in salads that may have been washed in water. Try limiting fruits and vegetables to those you peel yourself such as oranges, mangos, etc.
Pollution. Addis Ababa is badly polluted because of badly maintained diesel vehicles and dust. If you have any sensitivity to this, it is worth wearing a dust mask as is popular in many Asian countries.
Be prepared for culture shock. If you take photos of the people, ask first and offer to show them their picture if you have a digital camera with a display screen. Children enjoy seeing their pictures a lot of the time.
Overwhelmed. Many first time visitors may feel overwhelmed if they have not experienced this type of culture difference before. Be polite but not intrusive. It is OK to ask questions of the locals, but you should be prepared to be hassled a lot of the time, especially if you are white. Additionally, for foreigners who are black, it may be possibly to "blend in", precautions are in order (depending where you are, in Addis on Bole road they are used to seeing foreigners compared to the countryside). If you prepare yourself before arrival, you will be better able to cope.

Telephone
The country code for calling Ethiopia is 251. The city code for Addis Ababa is 011 (of 251 11 from outside Ethiopia).
Mobile
Ethiopia uses a GSM network operated by Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation. There is decent coverage around big cities such as Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Bahir Dar, Debre Markos, Dese, Gonder, Harar, Mekele, and Nekemete. It is expanding into most small cities.
Roaming charges are very steep. your best option for mobile access is to buy a local SIM card.
An easy option is to buy a SIM card, at 30 birr (June 2019). Ask a cell phone retailer or better still an Ethiotel shop. Be prepared: you will need a passport-sized picture and a photocopy of your passport that the seller will keep. The SIM card has to be registered before it will work properly. The registration can take 24 hours to be completed by the network. The SIM card will need to be cut to size as they are supplied as mini SIM's. Cutting will cost 20 birr in a shop. The Ethiotel service is not 100% reliable. Monthly internet bundles are available - 1GB for 100 birr. Dial *999# and follow the prompts to subscribe. For internet access, the APN is etc.com
Internet
In Addis Ababa, especially in Bole Subcity, you can find quite a number of internet cafes. Some still use dial-up connections, but broadband is becoming more popular. Most of the high-end hotels have internet connections (either Ethernet or Wi-Fi), which are reasonably fast and often free for hotel guests.
A general problem with the Internet in Ethiopia is the unstable international high-speed connection. If it is not working, even broadband cafes only deliver dial-up speeds and less. The local definition of highspeed broadband is 128Kb! Another general problem is the shortage of electricity, forcing daytime blackouts of whole areas 1–2 days a week, so it is good to plan ahead where you are going for internet access.
Skype and VoIP service are legal in Ethiopia. According to local press, Ethiopia today has the fourth worst internet in the world.
- Dembel City Center on Bole Rd has "Hut Internet Cafe" on the 2nd floor with over 30 Internet capable computers for use every day 10:00-19:00.
- Arkies Business Center, Piazza, next to 'Taitu Hotels'
- Broadband Internet in DH Geda Tower, next to Friendship City Center / Bole Rd. 128kbit/s, many seats, but mostly completely occupied. The good thing is that it is easy to find.
- Nina Internetcafe, across from Baro Hotels, inside Wutema Hotels
- TG Business Center, Bole, from Airport (big roundabout) to the right, junction with Cameroon Rd (locally known as "Bole-Tele") has broadband but only 3 seats. Most of the time it is not crowded, so a good connection can be expected.
- DMG Internet Center, near Edna Mall next to Kaldi's Cafe just off Djibuti St (the road leading from Tele Bole towards 22), has broadband connection and 11 terminals. 2 MB speed Internet, which translates to pretty decent speed for the country. Open M–Sa 08:30–20:00.
Wireless internet
3G Internet services (known as WCDMA or UMTS) are available in many parts of Addis Ababa. A special SIM card and capable phone is needed. Price is 0.04 birr per 100 KB. CDMA is also available, which needs special devices (prices around 0.10 birr per minute, around 128 kbit/s). EV-DO requires a USB device and is faster than CDMA but requires monthly payment of 500 birr for 2 GB data plan. CDMA and EV-DO are also available in all regional and most zonal capitals in Ethiopia.
