Car
If you are traveling by car, start at the center of Sahel and head towards Asmara. Follow the main road (Route 1), which is well-marked and takes you through scenic landscapes. After approximately 45 minutes of driving, you will reach Asmara. Once in Asmara, navigate to Bdho Street. The Eritrea Visit office is located in the Raza Building on the first floor. Look for the building with the sign indicating 'Raza Building'. Parking can be found nearby, but be prepared for a short walk.
Public Transportation
To use public transportation, locate the nearest bus or minibus station in Sahel. Look for buses heading towards Asmara, which regularly depart throughout the day. The fare is typically low (around 20-30 ERN). The journey may take about an hour. Upon arriving in Asmara, ask the driver or locals for directions to Bdho Street or the Raza Building. It's a common destination, so you should receive clear directions. The office is on the first floor, so take the stairs or the elevator.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct option, you can hire a taxi. Negotiate the fare before the journey; it should cost around 400-600 ERN to get from Sahel to Asmara. The taxi driver will take you directly to the Raza Building on Bdho Street. This option is convenient if you are traveling with luggage or prefer not to navigate public transport.
