For a true sense of emptiness, a travel into the Dankalia region is the best option in Eritrea. Here, you will find endless stretches of barren landscape with very few tiny villages.
After an early start from Asmara, we picked up our companions in on the Assab expedition in Massawa and left behind the last asphalt before Assab minutes later. Within an hour, we stopped, Abdul, the driver, dived under the 4WD and soon announced that the breaks didn't work anymore. We convinced him that, instead of going back to Massawa, to continue driving and try our luck in the next village. It worked surprisingly well, even though we had to go over hilly roads with herds of goats and other animals crossing the road. Within an hour after arriving at the tiny village of Galeelo, the car was fixed and we had lunch - off we went on our way south. We saw ostriches and gazelles, in a landscape that was ever drier, flatter, and more desolate. We reached the desert, and as if to illustrate it, we saw sand dunes so symbolical for any desert. They were not high, graciously draped heaps of sand, blown into aesthetic forms by the ever blowing wind. Amazingly, between the dunes a subtle green could be seen, as if giving a sign of life where life could be least expected.
