Introducing Eritrea
Travel Alert: Caution is advised when travelling in Eritrea, particularly in the border areas with Sudan and Ethiopia; check Safe Travel for current government warnings.
Eritrea is a heartbreaker. It was once heralded as a good place for travelling and, with a bit of luck, it could soon be so again. But as long as the country is at odds with its neighbour Ethiopia, its sworn enemy, tourism development won’t be a priority. One of the most secretive countries in Africa, Eritrea seems doomed to remain a hidden gem. Unsurprisingly, it falls below many travellers’ radars.
