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.
