Spot Light - Awassa (aka Hawassa)

Surrounded by the absolutely stunning Lake Awassa (aka "Lovers' Lake" - a perfectly fitting name for the purpose it serves most) with Tabor and Alamura mountains as its backdrop, the town is nothing like any other city that you come across in Ethiopia. Undeniably, Awassa is the most beautiful city in Ethiopia.. Period!

The Beautiful Lake Awassa

Awassa serves as a capital of SNNP region and is a home to nearly 300,000 residents. The city officials have been doing an amazing job at maintaining the beauty of the town as the number of population rises. It is among  the top tourist destinations with fabulous resorts and hotels always ready to give you an excellent service. Come Friday afternoon, tourists flock to the town from all over the country for some Awassa Experience. In addition to the natural attractions, the city is also well known for its night life.

P.S- If you haven't had a fresh  fried fish sitting on the fallen branches at Amora Gedel by Lake Awassa yet, you don't know what you are missing out on.... BIG TIME! Proud to call this city my home.
