International schools in Eritrea
A strong private education sector has developed in Eritrea, since the country’s public school system is underdeveloped and undergoing improvements. Certified and experienced foreign teachers can find jobs in international schools in the capital, Asmara, teaching students from preschool to high school. The school year runs from mid-August to mid-June, with several holiday breaks throughout the year.
Visas for foreign teachers in Eritrea
Living in Eritrea
You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the peaceful atmosphere of Eritrea’s capital, Asmara. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its stunning Modernist architecture – a remnant of its Italian colonial past. Admire the Art Deco buildings and watch cyclists pass by, as you dine at one of the many cafés and restaurants that line the boulevards.
There is a lot for visitors to explore in Eritrea. You won’t need to travel far to visit the historic market town of Keren in the northern highlands, where you can see caravans of camels for sale.
Meanwhile, Eritrea’s extensive Red Sea coastline offers stunning historic and natural wonders. The port city of Massawa is full of old buildings – in various states of ruin – from the Ottaman, Egyptian and Italian colonial eras.
Just off the coast, the Dahlak Archipelago of over 200 islands is a dream destination for snorkelers and scuba divers. Since the islands are scarcely inhabited and still rarely visited by tourists, the surrounding coral reefs have remained largely untouched and full of diverse marine life. To visit the islands, you’ll need to get a visitor’s permit from a local travel agent and charter a yacht, which won’t cost you too much.
Eritrea has a varied climate, from hot and dry coastal plains, to cooler and wetter highlands. Living in Asmara, you can expect warm summers and mild winters, with the most rainfall in July and August.
