    Muddy hole
    Doubt that Queen of Sheba went near this, but you never know. Now used for swimming and animals and pretty dirty.

    Not worth it
    We went here as part of a city tour of Axum. Basically, this is a rain fed basin which could have been used by the Queen of Sheba. Religious connotation for purification purposes. Slightly polluted. This is a myth and not worth going. Some local kids use it as a pool, however unsure about water quality.
