Zula Ancient Port
A two-day journey is found adjacent to the ancient port city of Adulis. The place is also historical because it is where the first 21-kilometer rail was built until Kumayle by the British in 1868. The Expeditious British Army composed mainly of Indian troops had to travel 610 kilometers deep inside Ethiopia to confront Emperor Tewdros in Gondar.
The Emperor has held hostage about 50 foreign diplomats. Queen Victoria ordered the British Army in India to travel to Gondar and free the Hostages. When Tedros saw an army with sophisticated weaponry he committed suicide.
