Eritrea

Situated on the Red Sea coast of East Africa, Eritrea is one of the least visited countries on the planet, which means its unique mixture of ancient history, Art Deco architecture, dramatic blue archipelagos and pristine coral reefs is totally overlooked. A trip to the country is a must for those seeking an off-the-beaten-track adventure in a place that has links to the earliest records of human life.

The tour begins in the capital city of Asmara, then explores Qohaito’s ancient ruins and rock paintings, Keren’s colonial architecture, lively markets, and the sacred Mariam Dearit shrine. The journey concludes on Massawa’s idyllic islands, offering opportunities to relax, swim, trek and spot dolphins while discovering the region’s rich history.
