Besides the modern capital of Addis Ababa, there are a huge variety of natrual and cultural sites to visit, from semi-active volcanoes (Eta Ale) to majectic valleys and jungle.
Check out Danakil Salt Lake, which is a salt lake covered with a thick layer of salt but with small pools of open water. The famous sulfur lake of Dallol at an elevation of 130m below sea level.
Being a mostly Christian country, Ethiopia has many interesting religious sites. Mariam Korkor monastery and the Abuna Yemata church in the Gheralta Mountains, located north of Dalolin the northern area of the country. To the west are the Simien Mountains, the highest elevation mountains in the country. Lalibela is an ancient site of religious structures carved out of stone.
I found most of this information on the YouTube video Top 10 Places To Visit in Ethiopia - Travel Guide by Ryan Shirley. Also check out the Visit Ethiopia official travel site. A visa is required to visit the country.
