Massawa - Transport & Travel
The city has a regular bus service, mini-buses (bus stop) and cabs – all quite easily accessible from the port gate (300 meters).
A permit is required to travel to the capital, Asmara. To travel there, you use the local “yellow” mini-buses to get to Massawa Bus Station. There you get either the “Government” Bus (42 Nakfa) or a smaller “Private” Bus (70/80 Nakfa). The bus timetable is based on Africa time. It leaves when it is full. The first bus is 04:00 the last being around 16:00 they leave about every hour or so. It takes four hours over some spectacular mountain ranges with some stunning scenery.
