Begin your journey with a seamless pickup from your hotel or the airport. Head to the National Museum of Ethiopia for a guided look at the country's ancient heritage, featuring the world-famous hominids.
Next, dive into the high-energy pathways of Shola Market. Walk among the bustling stalls and experience firsthand where thousands of locals trade fresh produce, aromatic spices, and unique regional goods every day.
Following your city exploration, be warmly welcomed into a local family kitchen for a step-by-step cooking class that unlocks the secrets of classic Ethiopian dishes. Under the guidance of your host, learn the art of preparing and baking injera, the foundational sourdough flatbread of the country.
Your host will explain the traditional three-day fermentation process that gives the bread its distinct, foam-like texture and pleasantly sour flavor. Get hands-on practice pouring and baking the three classic varieties: white, brown, and red.
Side by side with your instructor, simmer Shiro wot, a deeply flavorful and aromatic staple made from slow-cooked, spiced puréed chickpeas. To conclude your culinary journey, participate in a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, learning the delicate art of roasting raw coffee beans from scratch.
This complete experience includes all private round-trip transportation, expert hosting, and fresh ingredients, culminating in a rewarding sit-down meal of the authentic dishes you helped prepare.
