Seen in February 2025 on a Lupine groups trip to Eritrea. The group had a bus, but the bus broke down just outside Dekemhare, 38 km out of Asmara. We waited in a “pub” for 2.5 hours, until they found and brought from Asmara three 4WD cars to load us all up. With a few more stops we eventually got to Qohaito at 3 pm, where we visited the following sites: the ancient dam (maybe 2500 years old, see picture, Aksum civilization??), the viewpoint over the canyon, the Egyptian Tomb, Temple of Mariam Wakiro columns and eventually the Adi Alauti cave paintings. We had a Lupine guide, an Eritrean guide and a local guide who actually knew the sites, but didn’t know anything about UNESCO and no details of why that is called the Egyptian tomb or what those 4 columns of the “temple” meant. Some people in the group read about it in Lonely planet Eritreea (last edition 2008), but didn’t remember details. The cave is not a cave, just a space under a rock, beautiful old drawings but difficult to access 30 minutes from where the cars cannot go anymore. The road is definitely a 4 WD and we where thankful that the bus broke down early in our trip because otherwise we wouldn’t have made it. No one on the trip had any idea about the TWHS and the potential value of what we saw. We got back to a town Adi Keyh at 6 pm (maybe 45 minutes away) and after 45 minute “lunch” we got back to our Asmara hotel at 10 pm.
