You are here: Africa --> Eritrea --> When to go


When to go



The best time to visit Eritrea runs from December to February, since it is the least hot and the driest of the year. It must be said that it is still a scorching period in some regions, especially in the Danakil, but also in the entire western part at low altitudes, where, however, the heat is more bearable and nights are cool, especially in December and January (in February, the temperature already starts to increase a little).

What to pack



In winter. In Massawa, on the Dahlak Islands and the northern coast: bring light clothing, a light sweatshirt for the evening, and possibly a light raincoat or umbrella. When going to the reef, you can bring snorkeling equipment, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes. In Danakil, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing, light and long shirts and pants of natural fibers (cotton, linen), a desert turban, hiking shoes. In Asmara and the highlands, spring/autumn clothes, a jacket and a sweater for the evening, a sun hat, and sunscreen. In the western inland areas, light clothes, a desert turban, and a sweatshirt and a light jacket for the evening.

In summer. On the coast, bring tropics-friendly, lightweight clothes. When going to the reef, you can bring snorkeling equipment, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes. In Danakil, bring loose-fitting, light-colored clothing, light and long shirts and pants of natural fibers (cotton, linen), a desert turban, and hiking shoes. In Asmara and the highlands, spring/autumn clothes, a light jacket and a sweater for the evening, and a raincoat or umbrella. For the western inland areas, light clothes, and a light raincoat.
