| A destroyed military vehicle transformed into a train that can run on rails, to symbolise the efforts of Eritrean people in the reconstruction and nation building. | The Eritrean railway system was destroyed by the 30 years war. Eritreans rebuilt it from scratch using their own resources and knowledge. It is the symbol of self reliance and hard work of the Eritrean people. It's among the few steam engine railways working in the world. It has been a good tourist attraction for those who admire steam trains.Photo by user: Tivedshambo, under creative commons | |

In this part of the country there are extremes. You can find one of the hottest place in the world and one of the lowest points in Africa (mostly 100 metres below sea level).
