Nakfa is a picturesque town in the Northern part of the country of Eritrea. The Nakfa is also the term used for the currency of Eritrea. This term is derived from the city itself. During the period of Independence war of Eritrea, this remarkable historic town was used to serve as the base for People’s Liberation Front of Eritrea. During the war, Nakfa was subjected to a number of annihilating attacks that only left the Eritrean mosques standing. Trenches surround the entire town.
This beautiful place of Eritrea is nestled in the Sahel Mountains. There are several tourist attractions in Nafka. Here one can come across a huge number of sites including hospitals, factories, underground offices, school and homes.
Nakfa is indeed the perfect place for those who are highly interested to know about the historic past of the country. Being the home of wartime EPLF (Eritrean People's Liberation Front) it occupies a special place in the life of Eritreans.
Since a long time this place has been attracting the international tourists with its significant past history. In true sense Nakfa is the witness of the destructive battle that the country once underwent. So tourists must visit the city of Nakfa to get a complete taste of Eritrea trip.
