Assab is Eritrea’s second-largest port and the capital of the Southern Red Sea Region. It is located very close to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Its strategic position between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean makes it highly important.
Assab has the potential to become one of the most prosperous ports in the world in the future. The Eritrean government is working to develop the port’s infrastructure, and it is expected to become a major center for investment in the near future.
