We drove by minibus a few hours on gravel roads North-East of Axum, through Adwa, stopped at the Adwa battle location, and parked in the small village of Yeha to see the old temple site of Yeha. Archaeologists are not sure about its origin, but believe it was built by people coming across from Yemen.
We visited the temple and the churches treasure chamber, and then walked through the heat to some local houses before heading back to Axum.
