In a country as culturally diverse as Ethiopia, etiquette is a much bigger subject than what this page can display. But we will try and change our etiquette collection periodically so that we can cover as many cultural etiquette areas as possible.

We believe in cultural relativism. Yet, we dare to say that Ethiopians are the most courteous people anywhere in the world who proudly live up to the expectations of their cultural traditions. And honoring the customs on which the Ethiopian society is built is both timely and important.

Becoming aware of Ethiopian etiquette is becoming aware of the people in order to be as kind and considerate to them as you would like them to be to you. So make the most of it.
