Where is Ethiopia?
-
Ethiopia is located in Africa.
-
As a country in Africa, Ethiopia is situated in an area called the Horn of Africa. Known more formally as the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the country is in the northeast of Africa. As a landlocked country, Ethiopia is surrounded by six other African countries: Kenya, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, and Djibouti.
-
The GPS coordinates of Ethiopia are 9.1450° N and 40.4897° E. The latitude of Ethiopia is situated in the northern hemisphere, meaning Ethiopia is above the equator. With a longitudinal coordinate in the east, Ethiopia is in the eastern region.
-
The northernmost point of Ethiopia is along the border separating Ethiopia and Eritrea, another African country. This point is at a latitude of 14°53' N. In the south, Ethiopia extends as far as a small town, called Moyale, that lies between Ethiopia and Kenya. As part of the Borena Zone, this point is located at a latitudinal coordinate of 03°24' N. Ethiopia’s most extreme point is in the Oromia Region, right along the border between Kenya and Ethiopia.
-
The most extreme point of Ethiopia in the west is along the border between Ethiopia and Sudan. As the 132nd most western point, Ethiopia’s westernmost point has a longitudinal coordinate of 33°00' E, which places this specific point in the Gambela Region of Ethiopia. The easternmost point of Ethiopia rests along the Ethiopian-Somalian border. At a longitude of 48°00' E, the most extreme point in the east is part of the Somali Region of Africa.
-
With a total area of 426,400 square miles, Ethiopia ranks as the 26th largest country based on physical size. The country is approximately 1,018 miles long and 980 miles wide. The total area of Ethiopia is about 90.5% land and 9.5% water. In other words, Ethiopia’s total area is divided into 386,102 square miles of land and 40,298 square miles of water.
-
The population of Ethiopia is around 108,780,268 people as of 2018. Since populations fluctuate, the population of Ethiopia today might differ from the country’s population a week from now, seeing as the population of Ethiopia continues to climb every day. Based on current calculations, Ethiopia ranks as the 12th most populated country out of a total of 196 countries. The population density of Ethiopia is about 256 people per square mile. Ethiopia is the 132nd most densely populated country in the world.

What is Cambodia known for?
Cambodia
- Cambodia, country on the Indochinese mainland of Southeast Asia.
- Cambodia is largely a land of plains and great rivers and lies amid important overland and river trade routes linking China to India and Southeast Asia.
- The influences of many Asian cultures, alongside those of France and the United States, can be seen in the capital, Phnom Penh, one of a handful of urban centres in the largely rural country.
Cambodia has so much to offer, here are some of the things Cambodia is known for.
Temples of Angkor
One of the world’s most magnificent sights, the temples of Angkor: are so much better than the superlatives suggest. Choose from Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious building; Bayon, one of the world’s weirdest, with its immense stone faces; or Ta Prohm, where nature runs amok. The ancient Khmers packed the equivalent of all Europe's cathedrals into an area the size of Los Angeles, so there are plenty of temples to choose from: the beautiful carvings of Banteay Srei, the jungle ruin of Beng Mealea and the Mayan-style pyramid temple of Koh Ker.
The Southern Islands
In Cambodia's up-and-coming southern islands: your best chances to fulfil those paradise fantasies are Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. Off the coast of Sihanoukville, Koh Rong is party central, with its hippy-trippy Koh Tuch village; the rest of the island, fringed by silicon sand and clad in dense jungle, is an escape. Just south and slightly mellower is Koh Rong Sanloem, with tropical hideaway resorts and gentle, shallow bays. There are more islands along the coast, including the Koh Sdach archipelago and the large, almost undeveloped, Koh Kong.
Phnom Penh
The Cambodian capital is a chaotic yet charming city that has stepped out of the shadows of the past to embrace a brighter future. Boasting one of the most beguiling riverfronts in the region, Phnom Penh: is surprisingly sophisticated thanks to its hip hotels, epicurean eateries and boho bars ready to welcome urban explorers. Experience emotional extremes at the inspiring National Museum and the depressing Tuol Sleng prison, showcasing the best and worst of Cambodian history. Once known as the ‘pearl of Asia’, Phnom Penh is glistening once more.
Kampot Province
Kampot Province: offers atmospheric towns, and attractions as varied as national parks, cave pagodas and tropical beaches. In laid-back Kampot town, choose from backpacker hostels, riverside resorts or boutique hotels to take in the wonderful French architectural legacy, or explore the pretty river by paddleboard or kayak. Sleepier Kep has its famous Crab Market, hiking in Kep National Park and nearby Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island). Countryside romps include the winding ascent to Bokor Hill Station or exploring the working pepper farms for which Kampot is justly famous.
Siem Reap Province
Siem Reap town: only came into existence as a gateway to the temples of Angkor, but has emerged as a world-class destination in its own right, with a superb selection of restaurants, cafes and bars, not to mention markets, boutiques and galleries. Beyond the town lie other-worldly floating villages on the Tonlé Sap lake, adventure activities such as quad biking and ziplining, and such cultured pursuits as cooking classes. There are also some traditional villages a short distance from town where it's possible to experience local life in a homestay.
Mondulkiri
Eventually the endless rice fields and sugar palms that characterise the Cambodian landscape give way to rolling hills and the wild east of Mondulkiri:, home to the hardy Bunong people, who still practise animism and ancestor worship. Wildlife is a big draw here with the opportunity to 'walk with the herd' at Elephant Valley Project or spot doucs or gibbons on a trek through the Seima Protected Forest. Add thunderous waterfalls and a jungle zipline to the mix and you have the perfect ingredients for an authentic adventure.
Battambang
This is the real Cambodia, unfurling along the banks of the Sangker River, Battambang: is one of the country’s best-preserved colonial-era towns. Streets of French shophouses host everything from fair-trade cafes to art galleries. Beyond the town is the Cambodian countryside and a cluster of ancient temples, which, although not exactly Angkor Wat, do, mercifully, lack the crowds. Then there's the Phare Ponleu Selpak, a wildly successful nonprofit that trains up performing artists and puts on an awe-inspiring local circus. Battambang in a word? Charming.
Prasat Preah Vihear
The mother of all mountain temples, Prasat Preah Vihear: stands majestically atop the Dangkrek Mountains, forming a controversial border post between Cambodia and Thailand. The foundation stones of the temple stretch to the edge of the cliff as it falls precipitously away to the plains below, and the views across northern Cambodia are incredible. The 300-year chronology of its construction also offers an insight into the metamorphosis of carving and sculpture during the Angkorian period. It’s all about location, though, and it doesn’t get better than this.
Kratie
Gateway to the rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins of the Mekong River, Kratie: is a busy crossroads on the overland route between Phnom Penh and northeastern Cambodia or southern Laos. The town has a certain decaying colonial grandeur and boasts some of the country’s best Mekong sunsets. Nearby Koh Trong island is a relaxing place to experience a homestay or explore on two wheels. North of Kratie lies the Mekong Discovery Trail, with adventures and experiences themed around the mother river, including community-based homestays, bicycle rides and boat trips.
Khmer Cuisine
Everyone has tried Thai and Vietnamese specialities before they hit the region, but Khmer cuisine:, an unexpected epicurean adventure, remains under the culinary radar. Amok (baked fish with lemongrass, chilli and coconut) is the national dish, but sumptuous seafood and fresh-fish dishes are plentiful, including Kep crab infused with Kampot pepper. It wouldn’t be Asia without street snacks, and Cambodia delivers everything from mee (noodles) and bobor (congee or rice porridge) to deep-fried tarantulas and roasted crickets, some of which can be sampled on a foodie tour in Siem Reap.
