Purchase Badda: desert landscape (Eritrea)

We wanted to explore the interior of the Dankalia desert and decided to go to Badda. It was a memorable visit indeed.
On our way to Assab and back, we followed the road and thus the coastline. We appreciated the desert landscape, but we also knew we were never far from the sea. We therefore decided that, on our way back, we had to see the interior of the region. We decided for Badda. After we had convinced Abdul, our driver, that we wanted to veer off the main road, we drove to Marsa Fatma, a collection of huts on the way to Massawa. A sandy road took us South from there, right into the Danakil Depression, famous for its inhospitability and as one of the hottest places on earth. Moreover, various ancient travel reports refer to the Afars, the local population, as proud and fierce. We miraculously passed the checkpoint in Adaito and were on our way to Badda, famous mainly for its volcanic lake.
