Money and Shopping in Massawa
Buy tankloads of sunscreen before coming here. The Red Sea sun is merciless. There could be some
sunscreen in a Massawa shop (maybe) but in that case it will still cost three times as much as wherever you're from and have expired three years prior. So just bring lots of it along with a good pair of sunglasses and insect-repellents and mosquito-net (bednet). The latter can be bought cheaply in Eritrea and its called "Lamse" (LAM-SUH) locally. There aren't much souvenirs to buy in Massawa which are legal to bring out or even ethical to trade in (corals, mother of pearl etc). But if you're staying in Eritrea for a longer while, presumably up in Asmara, your hosts will greatly appreciate a great basket of sea-salt from Massawa.
