INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Start the app, after the splash screen you are presented with the information sheet which scrolled to the end reveals a button to play the videoclip.

Every videoguide has been conceived how an itinerary that people can easily retrace. Now, these videoguides and their information are used to compile this new serial of android apps.

This is one of a new series of apps dedicated to Eritrea that encompass natural, historical, cultural and tourist places.
In the video-app "Welcome to Keren - 1" we show the first part of the itinerary from Asmara and some part of the town.
While in the video-app "Welcome to Keren - 2" the videoclip is completely dedicated to Keren.
Clipvideo length 18 minutes approx.
GETTING THERE
KEREN
BY BUS:
You can reach Keren boarding one of the minibus leaving daily from the local bus station in Asmara. Ticket cost is cheaper than any other means of transportation, only cons that have to wait till bus is complete, so, sometimes means 23 hours seating in the typical market hassle.
PRECAUTIONS AND VACCINATIONS
No vaccinations are required unless special you go off the beaten track
tourist. Recommended in other cases, as a precaution, vaccination against yellow fever, typhoid, dengue, hepatitis C.
Do not drink tap water!!! Please, use bottled water or purified water, that is cheaper and also available in plastic jar of 525 litres. Food is safe as well as ice-cream.
However, check with your clinic of infectious diseases, before leaving because the conditions in this country vary from month to month.
NOTES
An efficient system of dams makes this area very fertile and allows a wide variety of crops.
With local services you can not stop to shoot out of the stopping places.
We must also know that in order to leave Asmara tourists must have a permit issued by the tourist office, where they are given the means of transport and destinations to reach.
Permission must always be shown and at the time of writing, the cost of the permit is indicative of a euro to be paid in Nakfa, the Eritrean currency.
