All Months
September through March offers the best weather, with daytime temperatures around 75°F and cool nights. The short rainy season from June to August brings afternoon showers but also green landscapes. December and January can get surprisingly chilly at night — pack layers. Avoid visiting during Eritrean holidays like Independence Day in May, when hotels book solid and flights become scarce. The dry season from October to February provides clear skies perfect for photographing the Art Deco buildings. But tourist visas remain difficult to obtain year-round, often requiring months of advance planning through Eritrean embassies.
