Addis Ababa - Views of the city from the hotel room
The site of Addis Ababa was chosen by Empress Taytu Betul and the city was founded in 1886. Addis Ababa lies at an elevation of 2,300 metres (7,500 ft).
Addis Ababa has the status of both a city and a state. It is where the African Union is and its predecessor the OAU was based. It also hosts the headquarters of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and numerous other continental and international organizations. Addis Ababa is therefore often referred to as "the political capital of Africa" for its historical, diplomatic and political significance for the continent.[6] The city is populated by people from different regions of Ethiopia. It is home to Addis Ababa University.
