Addis Ababa 2026 Is Unrecognizable! | አዲስ አበባ እንዴት ተለወጠች? (4K)

Experience the vibrant transformation of Addis Ababa! 🇪🇹 Join us on a scenic walking tour from the upscale diplomatic neighborhood of Sar Bet to the bustling commercial hub of Kera. This route showcases the city’s recent "Corridor Development," featuring expanded sidewalks, modern street lighting, and a fresh urban look that is redefining the capital in 2024-2025. In this video, you will see: 📍 Sar Bet (The "Grass House"): We start at Pushkin Square, a historic area named after the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. Sar Bet gets its name from the traditional grass-roofed houses built here during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie. Today, it’s a prestigious district home to embassies, the African Union (AU) headquarters, and trendy cafes like Adams Pavilion. 🛣️ The New Corridor: Walk with us along the newly renovated streets. You’ll notice the wide, pedestrian-friendly walkways and the "glow-up" of the city’s infrastructure. This stretch perfectly blends the calm, residential vibe of Sar Bet with the increasing energy of the city center. 📍 Kera (The "Slaughterhouse"): We end our tour at the famous Kera Triple Level Square. Kera, which means "slaughterhouse" in Amharic, is the historical heart of the city’s livestock and leather trade. You’ll experience a shift in atmosphere as we enter this high-activity commercial zone, known for its vibrant markets, local eateries, and the famous Kera Leather Market. Travel Tips for this Route: Footwear: The walk is roughly 2-3 km. Wear comfortable shoes as the city sits at over 2,300 meters of elevation! Best Time: Late afternoon is perfect for catching the "glow" of the new streetlights and the sunset over the city. Cash: If you plan to stop at the Kera markets for leather goods or local snacks, carry some Ethiopian Birr (ETB) as many small vendors prefer cash.
