It takes about three hours for Massawa to reach a height of 2400 meters above sea level. It will be a journey through three different types of climate zones along the way – cold, temperate, and hot. Ghinday is the perfect place to take a short break for a cup of coffee during your busy day.

We depart for Keren in the late afternoon. Overnight in Keren at Sarina hotel or similar.

DAY 4: KEREN – ASMARA

The morning will be spent visiting the splendid camel market, where local tribesmen sell their animals. During World War II and the Eritrean War of Independence, Keren was a site of heavy fighting. The Sudanese influence can be seen in the way people dress, their language, as well as their food, which is excellent, especially the aromatic Sudanese tea.

Our visit to Keren will include a viewing of the WWII graves of British and Commonwealth troops who defeated the Italians here at a significant cost. In the Italian cemetery, we will find the graves of men who were killed in the process of making and defending the colonial project. We will depart Keren in the afternoon and travel to Asmara.
