The site stands as a powerful testament to the multitude of vehicles destroyed during the Eritrean War of Independence, offering a vivid reminder of the fierce and relentless battles waged to secure our cherished freedom. This historical landscape, steeped in the sacrifices and valor of those who fought, has garnered considerable international media attention. Consequently, visitors must obtain a permit from the Ministry of Tourism to gain access, ensuring the site is preserved and respected as a symbol of our nation’s enduring resilience and triumph.

Great scrapyard featuring Soviet tanks in cacti. Historical and atmospheric.

The site is home to many vehicles destroyed during the Eritrean War of Independence and a reminder of sheer amount of fierce fighting that had taken place to secure independence, so that we can keep and cherish it. You will need a permit from the ministry of tourism to enter due to the negative international media attention that it has garnered.

This site reminds you with the amount of destruction caused by wars. You will see many army vehicles, empty medicine containers, tanks, anti-aircraft...etc. I recommend you wear boots and long trousers as there are some spiky plants in site. Take water with you as you may spend hours depending on your interest, the site is big.

One of the greatest jokes in the world. You need a government permit to see this rubbish of of a junkyard. It is basically a metal junkyard of all the old vehicles they could ever find in Eritrea. I think they had one Ethiopian tank and many vehicles of undermined origin. I even saw an old German bus.
