ADD Layover

As I fantasize travel for next summer, wondering about partial day tour of Addis during layover. If current schedule holds, I'll arrive ADD from LUN on ET qt 7:30 am with a scheduled departure on ET at 4:35 pm. Is this sufficient time for a quick tour of Addis?

Yes, it is doable. Addis Ababa Airport is located within the city limits, you will not be far from the things you'd want to see.
However be aware that pre-covid early morning is rushour time in the airport and can take a while to get through immigration at this time, an hour is not unheard of. One can't say for sure if it will be like that next year. (as we speak, no queue at immigration, instead tons of corona paperwork to be done, and they test all arrivals for Corona)
