When’s the best time to visit Eritrea?

The sweet spot is between September and May for mild weather—winter (Nov–Feb) is actually pretty comfy, around 20°C. Summer months (June–August) get seriously hot, especially inland. Coastal areas like Massawa will always feel like an oven most of the year. If you're into outdoor stuff or hikes, that cooler stretch is your friend. And if you’re hoping for festive vibes, don’t miss Independence Day celebrations around May 24—it’s a big deal there.
