Eritrea Map (Travel Reference Map)

Map of the country and portions of its neighbors. With topographical contours; elevations indicated by color changes.

Legend locates roads (with point-to-point distances in kilometers) from primary paved roads to tracks; railroads; airports and airfields; bus stations; post offices; police stations; embassies; information centers; campsites, hostels, and other lodging; points of interest; ruins; national parks and reserves; forest; sand dunes; hydrography; coral reefs.

With index of place names. Extensive geographic, historic, and cultural information; captioned photos of wildlife and scenic highlights.

I advice any one to visit. I found it to be one of the calmest, friendliest and safest countries I visited.


Disappointing map of Eritrea   September 20, 2005
Erik Dahl (Norway)
I bought the ITM Map of Eritrea hoping to get a detailed, up-to-date, and carefully drawn map of that interesting country in East Africa. I know Eritrea fairly well from several visits, careful study of their history, and friendship linking. But alas, this map is inaccurate, it contains few details, and the factual information inserted in the map is difficult to read. The map also contains a historical account of Eritrea. I find the narrative dubious in many regards. For instance, it is claimed that 'Arabs' developed the kingdom of Aksum by the third century, while historians now believe that the Axumite culture may well have originated in Africa. No mention is made of the interesting connection between Egypt and Punt (believed by many to be Eritrea) in the third and second millennium BC. To sum up: a very disappointing map - qualifying for one star in my evaluation.
