Visiting The Developing African nation of Eritrea?
Hello to all of my readers. Welcome back!!
Continuing my posts on African Travel......

Eritrea is a poor but developing East African country.

Formerly a province of Ethiopia, Eritrea became an independent country in 1993, following a 30-year long struggle for independence. Tourism facilities in Eritrea are very limited. A visa is required.

Airport visas are unavailable. Medical facilities in Eritrea are extremely limited.

Travelers must bring their own supplies of prescription drugs and preventative medicines. Street crime is not a frequent occurrence but is on the increase. Visitors should exercise normal safety precautions with regard to what valuables are carried and what environs are visited.

Credit cards are generally not accepted in Eritrea. Foreigners must pay bills in U.S. dollars or U.S. dollar denomination travelers checks.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.
See you here tomorrow.
