Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from October to March. Pack lightweight clothing for the day and warmer layers for cooler evenings. Respect local customs, especially at religious sites, by dressing modestly. Carry cash as card payments are rare. Stay informed about regional security updates. Drinking bottled water is advised. Learning basic Tigrinya greetings enhances interactions.
