When to Visit Eritrea
There are no seasonal rushes in Eritrea that are likely to blight your journey, so all that need to be considered when planning a trip to the region is the local climate.
On the whole the desert regions to the west and south can register astronomical temperatures during the hellfire months of summer, and although seasonal variations in temperature are not great, between June and August rainfall within and to the west of the highlands is intense and sustained, and needless to say temperatures along the coastal plain are at their most infernal. The best time to make the journey is between October and March when winter conditions and limited rainfall are altogether more amenable.
Travel Warning
Sadly the general advice available is to avoid all non-essential travel to Eritrea, and although this is not the case necessarily with the capital city in terms of its unique attractions, this alone would hardly justify a journey to the region. Intense restrictions are in place for all travel outside Asmara, including for embassy and diplomatic staff and anywhere within the vicinity of an international frontier is a no-go area. Landmines in these areas are also a very real threat.
The border with Ethiopia is permanently sealed, and the border with Sudan is intermittently closed. A boundary dispute with Djibouti has rendered the southern border region insecure.

Street crime is rare in Eritrea, although an upward trend has been recorded.
Overt homosexual activity is unlikely to be viewed positively anywhere in Eritrea, and modest dress for both women and men is advisable.
