Qohaito, Archaeological site in Debub Region, Eritrea
The archaeological site spans across a high plateau at 2,500 meters elevation, containing stone ruins, ancient structures, and rock engravings from past civilizations.
During the Aksumite period, Qohaito functioned as a central trading post between the cities of Adulis and Aksum, facilitating commerce and cultural exchanges.
The Temple of Mariam Wakino and numerous rock art pieces throughout the site reflect the religious practices and artistic expressions of early inhabitants.
The archaeological site requires proper walking shoes and local guidance to navigate the extensive ruins, with visits recommended during morning hours for better visibility.
The Sahira Dam, constructed before the Aksumite civilization, demonstrates advanced engineering capabilities of early settlements in the region.
