Although it remains outside the logic of commercial tourism, Eritrea offers an exciting challenge for lovers of unexplored destinations.

For this trip to Eritrea we propose a tour that allows the traveler to discover the most relevant aspects of the country. On the plateau we will have the opportunity to learn about the culture of different ethnic groups such as the Bilen and the rare Nara around Agordat. We will discover the wonderful stylistic diversity of architecture found in Asmara and Dekhemare. We will enjoy styles such as Futurism, Rationalism, Novecento and Art Deco. Although they are completely different from each other, they share an absolute and magnetic charm.

Later we will plunge into the Red Sea, meet the closed Rashaida Arabic nomads and discover the glorious merchant past of Massawa, an Otoman coral city falling apart.

Eritrea remains one of the most fascinating destinations in the Horn of Africa. Its mix of Abyssinian, Arabian and Mediterranean influences makes it a truly evocative place.

The guide for this trip to Eritrea will be Aníbal Bueno, an ethno-photographer specializing in African tribes. More information about the guide.

Asmara

We will visit the most interesting places in the city of Asmara, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will visit the Romanesque-style Cathedral of Santa Maria, the futuristic Fiat Tagliero garage, the Medeber recycling depot, the Art Deco-style Cinema Impero, etc.

Keren

It is the second largest city in Eritrea. We will visit the city's famous weekly camel and cattle market.

Ethnic groups

Bilen
We will meet the Bilen tribal people, a minority of herders. Women adorn their hair with gold jewelry and sometimes pierce their noses with large rings.

Rashaida
We will meet a clan of Rashaid Arabs, an ethnic group that arrived from Saudi Arabia at the end of the 19th century and settled on the African coast. They are a conservative people, but our local guide knows a couple of families that are open to foreigners.

Massawa

In this important port city bathed by the Red Sea we will visit the Old Imperial Palace. During the Fight for Independence it suffered serious damages and its current state is very deteriorated.
