Nekemte Travel Guide
Ethiopia
Nekemte is a city in western Ethiopia, serving as a regional centre away from the country’s coastline. It is inland, so the area around the city does not offer nearby beaches or a coastal holiday setting.
Travellers arriving by air can use Nekemte Airport (NEK). For beaches, there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so swimming and seaside trips require travelling farther afield.
