Dahlak CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT |
First, are due some warnings for for those who want to visit the Dahlak Islands: the people who inhabit the coasts and islands profess the Islamic religion, and consequently as a sign of respect for local customs will need to wear suitable clothes to visit the villages . For lovers of fishing, remember that on board will be only sailors fishing tackle. Who wants to fish have to bring the necessary equipment (in Eritrea is hard to find professional equipment). Those with sensitive skin to the sun should use special precautions such as covering, even while bathing, with sticking pants and t-shirts. Still, equipment for the sea refer only to those who does snorkelling or simply swimmers and not to divers. Finally, the following guidelines relate solely to the trip to the islands, for those who want to make trips to other areas of Eritrea should wear the necessary, more specific clothing and equipment.
