Popularly known as the North Korea of Africa for being the most repressive and hermetic country on the continent, Eritrea is a real off the beaten track, undiscovered gem which not many people know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paradoxically, this is a surprisingly chilled-out and tourist-friendly destination, filled with kind-hearted people, huge diversity, and loads of unique things to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only being independent since 1991, after a 30-war against Ethiopia, traveling to Eritrea is the ultimate offbeat experience in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide contains everything you need to know about doing tourism in Eritrea<\/strong>, including visas, permits, tips and a 9-day itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
