SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Frankfurt to Addis Ababa. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
The geographic halfway point of the great-circle path between Frankfurt and Addis Ababa lies at approximately 30.3911°N, 26.9823°E — the position that is an equal 2,672 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Depending on the date, Addis Ababa (Africa/Addis_Ababa) is 1 or 2 hours ahead of Frankfurt (Europe/Berlin), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
