Scenic area services:
There is only one first-class hotel and one luxury hotel in the capital Addis Ababa, so reservations should be made in advance through local travel agencies. However, there are plenty of cheaper but simple accommodation facilities, and all hotels do not reduce prices during the off-season.
Precautions:
1. Most hotels do not provide toothpaste and slippers, so you need to bring your own.
2. The medical and health conditions in Ethiopia are poor and local medicines are in short supply. Please bring some common medicines with you.
3. The tap water in Addis Ababa is of poor quality. Please do not drink it raw. Be careful. Wash your face and hands after returning to the hotel. Drink more mineral water sold in the hotel.
