Yonatan Welday: Founder, Adulis Travel

Yonatan Welday is the founder of Adulis Travel, a licensed tour operator based in Asmara, Eritrea, designing private journeys across the Horn of Africa, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somaliland and beyond.

About Yonatan

Yonatan lives and works in Asmara, where Adulis Travel was founded by local guides with deep roots in the Horn of Africa. He and his team guide travellers across Asmara, Keren, Massawa and the Red Sea coast, run 4WD routes to Djibouti's Lake Assal and Lake Abbe, and handle the practical side of every journey, Letters of Invitation, visas, internal travel permits, transport and hotels.

The company takes its name from the ancient port city of Adulis, once the greatest trading post on the Red Sea. Every trip is private by design: no fixed departures, no factory itineraries, a route composed around each traveller, led by Eritrean and Horn-of-Africa specialist guides.

Why the guides carry his name

Every guide on this site is written or reviewed by Yonatan and his team, grounded in the routes they actually run, not compiled from other websites. Where facts change (flight routings, visa rules, seasons), the guides are updated from on-the-ground experience.
