Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Eritrea as a destination for visitors from Norway?
Eritrea offers a unique blend of ancient history and authentic experiences, appealing to adventurous travelers rather than those seeking luxury. Situated on Africa's northeastern coast, it has a modest but promising tourism industry. While it may not be a mainstream choice, a segment of the 1.7 million Norwegians who travel abroad annually could find Eritrea an intriguing destination.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Eritrea for tourists coming from Norway?
Eritrea's safety for tourists, including those from Norway, is a concern. While Norway ranks 28th in the Global Peace Index and has a very low murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, Eritrea is ranked 134th out of 160 countries, indicating a significantly higher risk. Specific crime statistics show that while detailed murder rates for Eritrea are not available, the country faces challenges with organized crime, including high indices for state crime (9.5) and human trafficking (9.0), compared to Norway's much lower scores (2.0 and 5.0, respectively). Overall, tourists should exercise caution and stay informed about the current situation when considering travel to Eritrea.
