Aksum, located in northern Ethiopia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most historically significant cities in Africa. Once the heart of the ancient Aksumite Empire, it is renowned for its towering obelisks, royal tombs, and archaeological treasures.

The city is also deeply tied to Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, housing the Church of St. Mary of Zion, which is believed to safeguard the Ark of the Covenant. Aksum’s ruins, including the Giant Stele and the Queen of Sheba’s palace, reflect its legacy as a center of trade, culture, and religion.
