Hi,
I'm going to visit Eritrea in summer. I have a few questions, please help.
1) Is it true that only overland route is via Ethiopia and Djibouti?
2) Is it safe and wise travelling by land from Djibouti border (~Assab)
to Asmara?
3) Are there any ferry from Massawa to Jeddah (SA) or somewhere in Yemen (Aden)?
In general, I will start in Egypt and I want to visit Sudan and Eritrea (it's a must) and then go back via Saudi Arabia/Syria/Turkey to Europe. Visiting Ethiopia and Djibouti would be nice, but not necessary.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know the Ambassador hotel on Harnet Ave in Asmara?

Specific quesitons I have are:

How is the hotel?
How far is the Ambassador from the airport?
How much should a taxi cost to the hotel?
How does one change money upon arrival into Asmara?
Is there a change place at the airport?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Can anyone recommend a cheap but clean hotel in Asmara? I've heard the Bristol Hotel is ok, but if anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be grateful. By cheap I mean between $5-$10.

Thanks.
