In recent times, Eritrea has occasionally been likened to North Korea in the African context, but such a comparison falls short in my view. Despite its current isolationist leadership and the absence of certain cherished political freedoms that marked its independence, Eritrea's allure extends far beyond this aspect. It offers a compelling blend of colonial architecture and cultural heritage in Asmara, alongside the strikingly distinct atmosphere of Keren, now influenced more by Sudan than Italy.
Massawa, positioned along the Red Sea, symbolizes Eritrea's future. While envisioning this future amid sweltering humidity and a sense of leisurely decline can be challenging, Eritreans are longing for change while also recognizing the debt owed to the heroes of their War of Independence. The official end of the conflict, achieved through the process of reconciliation with Ethiopia, marks a pivotal moment.
We provide tours in Eritrea, both as standalone experiences and in combination with neighboring countries in the Horn of Africa. These tours offer travelers the opportunity to gain profound insights into one of the world's proudest, most resilient, and historically captivating nations.
Asmara, beyond being a remarkably well-preserved showcase of Art Deco architecture, stands as one of the most intriguing destinations on Earth. The Dahlak Islands beckon with exceptional diving sites and captivating marine life, while Red Sea towns like Massawa offer glimpses into the heritage shaped by the Ottomans, enriching the cultural tapestry of the region.
