Eritrea Travel Advice

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Travel safety

Reconsider your need to travel
In response to the conflict in northern Ethiopia, the Eritrean Government has called for a mobilisation of its armed forces. Additional security measures may be introduced at short notice in Asmara and across the country. If you're in Eritrea, you should remain vigilant at this time. We advise: Reconsider your need to travel to Eritrea overall due to the high risk of instability and violence. Higher levels apply in some areas.
