The town and port of massawa,Eritrea
Massawa (Tigrinya: ምጽዋዕ; Arabic: مصوع)[2] is a city on the Red Sea coast of Eritrea located at the northern end of the Gulf of Zula beside the Dahlak Archipelago. As a historical and important port for many centuries, it was ruled by a succession of polities, including the Axumite Empire, Medri Bahri Kingdom, the Umayyad Caliphate, various Beja sultanates, the Ottoman Empire, the Khedivate of Egypt, Italy, Britain, and Ethiopia, until Eritrea's independence in 1991. Massawa was the capital of the Italian Colony of Eritrea until it was moved to Asmara in 1897[3].
Massawa was originally a small seaside village, lying in lands coextensive with the Kingdom of Axum in antiquity and overshadowed by the nearby port of Adulis about 50 kilometres (31 mi) to the south.[4]
The city reportedly has the oldest mosque in Africa, that is the Mosque of the Companions (Arabic: م, translit. Masjid aṣ-Ṣaḥābah). It was reportedly built by companions of Muhammad who escaped persecution by Meccans.[5] Following the fall of Axum in the 8th century, the area around Massawa and the town itself became occupied by the Umayyad Caliphate from 702 to 750 CE. The Beja people would also come to rule within Massawa during the Beja Kingdom of Eritrea from the year 740 to the 14th century. Massawa was sited between the sultanates of Qata, Baqulin, and Dahlak. Midri-Bahri, an Eritrean kingdom (14th–19th centuries), gained leverage at various times and ruled over Massawa. The port city would also come under the supreme control of the Balaw people (people of Arab descent), during the Balaw Kingdom of Eritrea (12th–15th centuries). At this time, the Sheikh Hanafi Mosque, one of the country's oldest mosque, was built on Massawa Island, along with several other works of early Islamic architecture both in and around Massawa (including the Dahlak Archipelago and the Zula peninsula).
The port was a major site for the Arab slave trade and Venetian merchants were said to have lived in Massawa and nearby Suakin in the 15th century
Transportation
Edit
Massawa is home to a naval base and large dhow docks. It also has a station on the railway line to Asmara. Ferries sail to the Dahlak Islands and the nearby Sheikh Saeed Island, aka Green Island.
In addition, the city's air transportation needs are served by the Massawa International Airport.

Main sights
Edit
Notable buildings in the city include the shrine of Sahaba,[13] as well as the 15th century Sheikh Hanafi Mosque and various houses of coral. Many Ottoman buildings survive, such as the local bazaar. Later buildings include the Imperial Palace, built in 1872 to 1874 for Werner Munzinger; St. Mary's Cathedral; and the 1920s Banco d'Italia. The Eritrean War of Independence is commemorated in a memorial of three tanks in the middle of Massawa.
Economy:
Massawa is the next burgeoning tourist and industrial area in Eritrea. At a glance it is still under heavy construction but potentially the many manufacturing sites and businesses will recreate a newly major maritime city in the much-needed newly conflicted waters of the Horn of Africa.
Twice in history Eritrea was known for having the fastest growing GDP in Africa both in the 1940’s and between 1994-1997 (before the border dispute with Ethiopia). Alongside this is it’s recent climb to re-rebuild its small-scale economy.
In 2011 the excavation of mineral resources and extraction of its first gold deposits is now once again bringing Eritrea and it’s economic development potential back into the spotlight.
There are several potential opportunities to grow the economy in Massawa with these public-private investments.
A Free Trade Zone Authority has been established and its construction activities in the port of Massawa have already begun. Twelve companies including China, Italy, Israel, India, Djibouti, Sudan and Dubai have registered to use the free port.
Massawa is home to (thanks to tons of seawater) a salt factory, which imports and exports salt locally. Fisheries are also a main export item to neighboring countries.
Amazing still is the Old Italian cement factory, which despite rumors is still functioning! Like most of the old Italian infrastructure (including the ever popular old Italian railway) this cement factory is withstanding at least seven decades of operations. In addition to this cement factory there is now a second factory being built called Ghedem cement. It is still under construction and is a joint venture between Eritrean and Chinese construction companies.

Eritrea Travel | Unique Culture & Friendly People But No Tourists
Welcome to my channel and this week’s video is about Eritrea Travel, Unique Culture & Friendly People but No Tourists.
Historically intriguing, culturally compelling and scenically inspiring, Eritrea is one of the most secretive countries in Africa.
For those with a hankering for off-the-beaten-track places, it offers challenges and excitement alike, with a unique blend of natural and cultural highlights.
Eritrea wows visitors with its scenery, from the quintessentially Abyssinian landscapes – escarpments, plateaus and soaring peaks – to the deserted and decertified beaches of the Red Sea coast.
Culturally, Eritrea is a melting pot. It might be a tiny country by Africa's standards, but it hosts a kaleidoscopic range of ethnic groups. It also features a superb array of archaeological sites that tell volumes of history. The cherry on top is Asmara, Eritrea’s delightful capital and a whimsical art deco city.
Despite the tough political and economic situation, and the odd travel restrictions, this country remains one of the most inspiring destinations in Africa, particularly for travelers that want something a little different.
In this Eritrea Travel Vlog 2020, I will explain you about How to Travel to Eritrea? Tips for Eritrea travel budget, Eritrea top attractions, Things to see and do in Eritrea. Best places to visit in Eritrea. This is Eritrea Travel reviews for your future Eritrea Vacation planning.

Lyrics:
[Eng]
Eritrea, Eritrea,
Her Nemesis destroyed while wailing,
her sacrifices vindicated by freedom.
Forever firm in her principles,
her name became a synonym of tenacity,
Eritrea, the pride of the oppressed,
is a testament that truth prevails.
Eritrea, Eritrea,
has taken her rightful place in the world.
[So that] The supreme dedication that brought us freedom,
will serve to rebuild her and develop her,
We shall honor her with progress,
It is our legacy to crown her.
Eritrea, Eritrea,
has taken her rightful place in the world.
