In the southern part of the Red Sea there is the town of Massawa, the second largest in the country after the capital Asmara. It has the main port of Eritrea and a few nautical miles from it there is an archipelago unknown to tourists and explorers.<\/p>\n
The archipelago of the Dahlak Islands, is separated from the mainland by the Massawa Channel, and it consists of 126 islands, islets and reefs almost all uninhabited. In fact, only four of them have a permanent resident population, while a few others have a population temporarily resident.<\/p>\n
From a distance it is very difficult to see these islands that are very \u201clow\u201d, having a maximum height of 36 meters above sea level, and perhaps for this reason over the centuries have remained untouched.<\/p>\n
When you arrive at Dahlak, you think to be in a paradise without the time\u2026 unexplored coral reefs no contaminated by diving tourism which, unfortunately, is not always practiced by respectful of the flora and fauna underwater divers.<\/p>\n
Another unusual aspect, also magical according to those who have personally experienced, is the behavior of marine birds; they fly in flocks with no fear of human presence because they don\u2019t associate it with shotguns \u2026<\/p>\n
These arid stretches of land emerging from the sea were already famous in Roman times for their pearl oyster production. Today, thanks to the fact that they have been declared a nature reserve, offer some untouched natural environment without big structures and, so they are perfect for lovers of adventure and absolutely unfit to noisy families on vacation \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
