The country features highlands, lowlands, and coastal plains. It experiences a dry desert climate in the coastal regions and a temperate climate in the highlands.

The country has many spectacular roads. One of the most remarkable drives is the P1 Road, a fully paved and well-maintained drive. It’s 111 km (68.97 miles) long and tops out at 2,414m (7,919ft) above sea level.

Straddling the Central and Northern Red Sea regions of Eritrea, the infamous P1 is a challenging mountain road.

The Semenawi Bahri Tollway is a unique drive through Eritrea’s Semenawi Bahri National Park, known for its sharp turns, elevation, and stunning views.
