Eritrea

Where the only thing more abundant than the desert sand is the number of times you'll have to explain where Eritrea is.

Eritrea: A country so proud of its independence, it's almost as if it's trying to make up for being the only African nation without a single, recognizable celebrity.

Eritrea: A land of breathtaking natural beauty, where the only thing more stunning than the Red Sea coastline is the government's impressive collection of ancient, dusty cannons.

Asmara is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its well-preserved Futurist architecture from the Italian colonial period.

Eritrea has no official language, but Tigrinya, Arabic, and English are widely used.
