 | | Mekele is the capital of Tigre and one of the largest towns in Ethiopia. |
 | | Mekele is a likeable place, with good facilities and the welcoming air that is so typical of Tigre, and although it lacks bona fide tourist attractions, it would be just about the perfect place to break for a day between long bus trips or rest up after a few days hiking in Gheralta. |
 | | The small village of Chelekot, 17 km south of Mekele, is known for its attractive green setting, and for the Selasie Chelekot Church, a circular construction that is one of the most beautiful churches in the country, and which is also rich in church treasures. |
