Embark on an extraordinary journey across mysterious Eritrea, exploring the beautiful Art Deco architecture, the extraordinary coffee culture, and the skeleton of millennia of heritage and decades of conflict. From Asmara to the Red Sea Coast, across Timkat celebrations and vibrant nomadic communities’ territory. Experience tradition first hand, explore the decaying heritage before it is gone forever. Indulge in a deep connection between architecture and daily life through abandoned cinemas, colonial mansions, and forgotten ruins. Eritrea is a crossroads of bold cultural heritage and tradition, where we will experience awe-inspiring moments that harmonize with the rugged terrain’s beauty, taste wonderful and exclusive cuisine, go under the radar and off the beaten path.
