Watch: Discover Addis Ababa

One of the things we kept hearing from both visitors and long-time residents of Addis Ababa is that there was no single place to actually *see* the city before deciding where to go — photos and text only get you so far. So we're happy to feature this short video tour, produced by Mela Alem TV, right on our Discover Addis Ababa guide.

It's a good starting point before you dive into the full guide: a visual sense of the city's streets, landmarks, and everyday rhythm, from someone who filmed it on the ground. If you're new to Addis Ababa — whether you're visiting, moving here, or just curious — watch this first, then use Discover Addis Ababa's categories (historical sites, museums, markets, neighborhoods, food and culture, and day trips) to plan where to actually go, with a MelaGO ride booking button on every single entry.

We'll keep adding video content like this where it genuinely helps people get a feel for a place before they visit — always credited to whoever actually produced it, never presented as our own footage unless it is.
