Eritrea in 8 days: Asmara's modernism, the Massawa road and the Dahlak islands
Asmara → Keren → Asmara → Massawa → Dahlak → Asmara
A capital listed by UNESCO for its 1930s modernism — a petrol station shaped like an aeroplane, cinemas with their original seats — reached by a steam railway that climbs from the Red Sea, in one of the most closed countries on earth where every road out of the city needs a permit.
