Gondar is located at 730 km from Addis Ababa, 175 km from Bahir Dar, and 120 km from the Simien Mountains at an elevation of 2,133 m above sea level. Gondar is a land of medieval mystery and the center of an important trading empire. The city holds the remains of several royal castles, including those in Fasil Ghebbi (Royal Enclosure), for which Gondar has been called the “Camelot of Africa”. This UNESCO registered site is an ideal touristic destination that connects almost all of the historic routes in Ethiopia.
