Discover essential information about Eritrea

Eritrea is a young nation on the Horn of Africa, gaining independence from Ethiopia in 1993. Bordered by Sudan, Ethiopia, and Djibouti, it has a long Red Sea coastline dotted with ancient ports and coral reefs. Its capital, Asmara, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its remarkably preserved Italian Modernist architecture—earning it the nickname "the Africa's Rome."
