Back to mapA unique destination on the Eritrean Red Sea coast, Massawa features beautiful, empty lagoons and a backdrop of historic Italian-colonial architecture. The main wind season is driven by the Khareef summer monsoon from May to September.
Travel here requires significant planning due to limited infrastructure and local regulations. For those who make the journey, the reward is world-class, untouched flat water spots.
