Mesraq is the trust layer for Ethiopian businesses. When someone in Washington or Minneapolis needs a good hospital in Addis for a parent, they call a cousin. To pick the right hotel for a sister's wedding, they ask a WhatsApp group. That knowledge works, but it lives in people's heads and group chats, and it disappears. Every new arrival starts over. Mesraq puts it somewhere you can search. MORE THAN 13,000 REAL PLACES Restaurants, cafes, hotels, hospitals, pharmacies, banks, schools, markets, fuel stations and landmarks across Ethiopia. Filter by city, by region, or by sub-city in Addis Ababa, from Bole to Kolfe Keranio. REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU Read what the community actually thinks, and add what you know. Every review comes from a real account. ASK THE AI GUIDE Ask for good injera in Bole, a trusted mechanic in Gondar, or where to change money. The assistant answers from the real directory, not from thin air, and shows you the places it found. SEE ETHIOPIA, AND THE DIASPORA Explore the country zone by zone on a 3D map, or spin the globe to see where Ethiopians live worldwide, from DC to Riyadh to Frankfurt. BUILT BILINGUAL Amharic and English throughout, not bolted on. WORKS WHEN YOU ARE OFFLINE Save places you care about and they stay with you, signal or not. FOR BUSINESS OWNERS Claim your listing and decide how your community finds you. Mesraq means "the east": the direction old Ethiopian geography measured everything against. It is the place you look before you decide.
