Eritrea is a country of the in Horn of Africa, located on the Red Sea bounded to the southeast by Djibouti, to the south to Ethiopia, and to the west to Sudan. Eritrea is a reflection of the country’s history. Jerra is commonly eaten in the rural area. It is a Himbasha-like bread that is eaten together with a sauce called Tsebhi or Wat.Eritrea is a multi-ethnic country with nine ethnic groups. Eritrea has nine national languages which are Tigrinya, Tigre, Afar, Beja, Bilen, Kunama, Nara, Saho, Arabic. Tigrinya and Arabic serve as the two working languages. Eritrea embrace two of the world’s major religions, Islam and Christianity. Eritrean people about each and share what they have and I miss this social life since I am living in Western country social life is not common. I miss traditional culture and the hot weather. A special place in Eritrea is Asmara to this capital city. I love the simple pleasure of walking and exploring Asmara. The climate is perfect and the streets are clean. Another city. Massawa has a beautiful beach and is safe for swimming, an ancient port and remains the largest natural deep-water port on the Red Sea. Eritrea is always in my heart.
