Hello everyone,

What are the most expensive cities to live in Ethiopia? What are the costs of things such as rent, utilities, weekly groceries, dining out, etc.?

What is the lifestyle like in these cities, for expats and locals?

What are the different neighbourhoods like? Are there more affordable areas?

Do you have any experience living in any of Ethiopia's most expensive cities? What was it like?

Which cities in Ethiopia would you recommend? Are there any that offer particularly good value for money when it comes to cost of living?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi Priscilla,
Addis Ababa is a bit strange. Houses for expats are very expensive. On the other hand electricity is cheap like going out. Shopping in supermarkets relatively expensive. Better go to so called "fresh corners""

It all depends on the season. During it, Lalibela is intense.
