Makale Tourist Information

The capital of the Emperor Yohannes IV (1871-1889), Makale is now the main town of Tigray, the most northern Ethiopian region. The Emperor's palace has been turned in to a particularly interesting museum, with many exhibits of his time and subsequent history. The town is also well known as transit point for the camel caravans bringing salt up from the arid lands of the Danakil Depression. This makes the market place a particularly interesting place to visit. Intrepid visitors can also make excursions into the Danakil to visit some of the Afar nomads that trek across the region.
