Visas: All foreign nationals need a visa to visit Eritrea and these should be obtained from one of the country's embassies or consulates before you leave your home turf. Tourist visas are single-entry only and valid for a month - to get one, you'll need a passport valid for at least three months and one passport photo. Transit visas, for which you need a valid passport and visa plus an onward ticket, limit your visit to a week and can be arranged at an official Eritrean port of entry if need be.
Health risks: Being by the Red Seaside and anywhere else that's less than 6500ft above sea level means being exposed to the risk of malaria, so stock up on the requisite drugs. Dengue fever is also endemic so anti-mosquito precautions are a must. Other common ailments in the region include diarrhoea, giardia, dehydration and worm infestations.
