    The complexity of these ancient ruins is amazing. Our excellent tour guide showed us the central hall where guests were received, the kitchen where the ambasha bread was baked, and a shower area where the water flowed in and out of the room through channels. There is some skepticism among archaeologists that the ruins are old enough to date to Queen Sheba's time, but now it is believed that there are older ruins under the existing palace.

    Nice historical/ archeological site a short drive from center of Axum. Important to have a guide to go there as otherwise would be difficult to understand and appreciate the site. There's also a small viewing platform to get a better view of the palace ruins.

    It truly is an amazing site. Worth visiting Axum. Its strange though that queen Sheba's bath is a little distance from here Place. Makes we wonder if its really her palace. Just an amateur thing put loud. Lol
