Adulis Travel

The local experts
behind every journey

Founded in Asmara by guides who grew up in the Horn of Africa, we exist to share the places we love with travellers who seek the authentic and the extraordinary.

Our Story

Born in Eritrea,
built for explorers

Adulis Travel is an Eritrea-based travel company founded by local guides with deep roots in the Horn of Africa. Our founders grew up walking the streets of Asmara, diving the reefs of the Dahlak Archipelago, and crossing the highlands that few outsiders ever see. That intimacy with the land, and its people, is the foundation of every journey we create.

We take our name from the ancient port city of Adulis, once the greatest trading post on the Red Sea. Like that crossroads of civilisations, we believe travel is most powerful when it creates genuine exchange: between traveller and host, between curiosity and culture.

Whether you join one of our scheduled group departures or ask us to create a fully private itinerary, every journey is built with the same care. We listen first, then compose an experience calibrated to you: your pace, your interests, your level of adventure.

One of our founders lives in Sweden and travels regularly back to Eritrea: a ground team in Asmara handling guides, permits and logistics on the spot, and a contact point in Europe answering in your language and timezone, from first enquiry to the day you fly home.

Why travellers trust us

As a licensed Eritrean tour operator, we handle the parts of travel in the Horn of Africa that outsiders find hardest: visas, travel permits, and local arrangements, so you can focus on the experience itself. Our network of guides, drivers and hosts has been built over years of living and working in the region, not assembled from a directory.

Eritrea, Djibouti, Somaliland, Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan: these are destinations where local knowledge is not a luxury but a necessity. That knowledge is what we were built on, and what every Adulis Travel journey is made of.
