Frequently asked questions

How attractive is Eritrea as a destination for visitors from France?

Eritrea offers a distinctive experience for those seeking authenticity and historical richness rather than luxury. Located on Africa's northeastern coast, it has a modest yet promising tourism industry. While it may appeal to a segment of the 13.7 million French travelers who venture abroad annually, it may not be a mainstream destination for all.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Eritrea for tourists coming from France?

Eritrea's safety for tourists, including those from France, presents some concerns. While France ranks 84th in the Global Peace Index, indicating a relatively safe environment, Eritrea is ranked 134th out of 160 countries, suggesting higher risks. Additionally, there is no available data on murder rates in Eritrea, while France has a low murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people. In terms of organized crime, France generally has better indices across various categories compared to Eritrea. For instance, Eritrea scores poorly on state crime (9.5) and human trafficking (9.0), while France scores significantly better in these areas. Overall, while travel to Eritrea is possible, tourists should exercise caution and stay informed about the local situation.
