Testimonies
“Eritreans are hospitable. Eritreans bestow a great honor on foreigners by inviting them to their house.”[1]
“Eritreans are very hospitable and congenial: as a foreigner, you are often asked by total strangers in the street where you come from and how you like Eritrea. The behavior of foreigners is rarely frowned upon. ”[2]
“Eritreans are very hospitable, sociable, and generous. Guests are generally treated in a vey hospitable manner. Individuals, families, and communities provided their utmost attention and respect to guests (be they foreigners or visitors from within the society). Suring all times of communication and interaction with guests, Eritreans remain polite and accommodating. ”[3]
“As I prepare to leave Eritrea, I am going to miss the friendly generous people who make Eritrea my favorite African country of the 26 countries in Africa where I have studied animal diversity over the last 40 years. ”[4]
“Social events, transport, site-seeing all first class. The trip to Massawa was a dream and in a class of its own.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Eritrea and thankful for the hospitality.”[5]
“The warmth, straightforwardness and a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood of the people of Eritrea was witnessed first-hand on landing at the Asmara International Airport. I did not bring along the wheel chair with me but almost instantly I was offered one on arrival by the joyous protocol and immigration fellows and ended up using the same wheel chair for the entire period I stayed in this majestic country. That is a special welcoming gesture for a visitor with specialized needs like myself and I can assure your esteemed readers and the entire population that this is only very peculiar and special with the people of this State and not common among many others. The protocol and immigration officials were so professional and humble, comparable to none in this universe. ”[6]
