Eritrea, one of the least explored countries in the world, has a long and fascinating history dating back thousands of years. This makes it one of the youngest countries in the world, but its rich cultural heritage belies its youth.

From the ancient Kingdom of Aksum to the Italian colonial era to the Eritrean War of Independence, Eritrea has been a crossroads of civilizations for centuries. As a result, its culture is a unique blend of African, Arabic, and European influences.
