Asmara-Eritrea
Asmara is the capital city of Eritrea.It was built in 1920's. Asmara was made the capital city in preference to Massawa by Governor Martini in 1897. It is by far the largest city in Eritrea, with a population of more than 600,000. Under thirty years of Ethiopian occupation, the city was allowed to deteriorate, but it still retains its essential beauty.Since liberation in 1991 the city has been undergoing a rapid improvement in infrastructure maintenance and repainting. Asmara is the safest African capital for travelers.Moreover it is one of the cleanest cities in Africa. The streets are elegantly lined with palms trees and a string of boutiques, coffee-shops and restaurants, which are reminiscent of southern Italy.

Liberation Avenue-Asmara
The country has a coastline of more than 1,000 kilometers (635 miles) and its territory includes more than 350 islands.Eritrea's proximity to the Red Sea together with its physical features account for its varied climate and rainfall. The highlands have a cool temperature climate while the lowlands are characterized by a hot and humid climate, especially along the coast. Eritrea is in the Saharan rainfall zone and receives its heaviest rains from the southwest monsoons. Eritrea was liberated in May 1991 by EPLF after 30 years of war with Ethiopian illegal occupation. In April 1993, the Provisional Government of Eritrea conducted an internationally supervised referendum in which 98.5 percent of the population participated; 99.8 percent voted for independence. Eritrea became officially independent in 24 May 1993.
