Eritrea

Africa

Discover Eritrea

Eritrea has been lazily described as Africa North Korea. It isn’t.

Though suffering a dearth of political freedoms that once seemed so precious at independence, there more to this proud nation state than the paranoid isolationism of its current leadership. The colonial architectural and cultural legacy embodied in Asmara is fascinating to experience, as is the jarringly different feel of Keren which these days owes more to Sudan than to Italy.

In Massawa, through its access to the Red Sea, lies the future for Eritrea. Though clothed in stifling humidity and embodied by languid decay, right now the future can seem more distant each day. While acknowledging their debt to the heroes of the War of Independence younger Eritreans are hungry for change. Rapprochement with Ethiopia leading to the official end of conflict has started the process.

What to see on our Eritrea Group Tours
