GHINDA, DEKEMHARE AND SEGENEITI EXPLORATION (DAY TOUR FROM ASMARA)

For this tour we’ll go to the village of Ghinda and the town of Dekemhare, starting with our first stop in Ghinda, which lies in the middle between Asmara and Massawa.
Ghinda is a small village in the middle of a green, fertile valley which has a microclimate with more rainfall than the areas outside the surrounding mountains.
Along the river and hills we find many terraced fields on the hills where vegetables and fruits are grown. We’ll have a stop to show you around, see the market and give you a chance to have a bite or a drink.

Afterwards we’ll continue our way to Dekemhare, south of Asmara, called the Golden City. It was originally meant to be an industrial center and a transportation hub, but got largely destroyed during the independence war. We still find remnants of this period such as old factories which just like everything the Italians built in Eritrea, all have a unique style. Because of the gentle climate the town was favoured by the Italians where they had their vineyards to produce wine next to cultivating other fruits and vegetables. Downtown we find markets, shops, cafés and several interesting pieces of Italian architecture worth visiting. 
Our final stop is the town of Segeneiti, where we’ll have a look around in the small town center with its charming church and we’ll then have a hike in the area to find the giant sicomoro tree.  After our hike, it’s time to go back to Asmara!
