To reach ‘Idī by car, first, ensure you have a reliable vehicle, as the roads can be rough in some areas. From the city of Assab, head south along the main coastal road (Route 1). Continue for approximately 45 kilometers until you reach the turnoff for ‘Idī. Follow the signs and local directions, as the final stretch might not be well-marked. Expect the journey to take about an hour depending on road conditions.

Public Transportation

If you are using public transportation from Assab, take a shared taxi or minibus heading south along Route 1. The fare should be around 30-50 ERN (Eritrean Nakfa) per person. Inform the driver of your destination (‘Idī'), and they will drop you at the nearest point. From there, you may need to walk approximately 2 kilometers to reach the bay area, depending on where you are dropped off.

For a more direct route, you can hire a local taxi from Assab to ‘Idī. Negotiate the fare beforehand; you can expect to pay around 300-500 ERN for a one-way trip. This option will provide more flexibility in terms of travel time and routes, especially if you want to explore the area around ‘Idī.
