Discover Eritrea

Eritrea's history dates back to ancient times when it was home to the Aksumite Kingdom, a trading empire that spanned across the Red Sea. This land was a vital crossroads for trade routes that connected Africa with the Arabian Peninsula and the Mediterranean.

In the 19th century, European colonial powers cast their eyes upon Eritrea. The Italians established their presence in the late 1800s, and Eritrea became an Italian colony in 1890. Over the years, it saw a complex blend of Italian and African influences.

Eritrea's path to independence was marked by struggle and sacrifice. The Eritrean War of Independence, lasting from 1961 to 1991, was a grueling conflict that eventually led to Eritrea gaining its independence from Ethiopia.

Today, Eritrea stands as a nation of rugged beauty, with a diverse landscape that includes the Red Sea coast and the stunning Green Belt.
