Located in the central highlands of Eritrea, Ghala is a small, historic inland town about 50 kilometers from the capital, Asmara. At over 2,000 meters above sea level, the city enjoys a pleasant climate and is surrounded by rolling hills and fertile farmland, with a traditional agricultural economy that produces grains, vegetables and tropical fruits. Gula retains a distinctive colonial Eritrean architectural style, with mottled stone houses and narrow lanes that tell the story of the past. The pace of life in the local community is slow, with most of the inhabitants practicing Christianity or Islam, and traditional crafts such as weaving and pottery are still practiced today. As an important node connecting trade routes between the highlands and the lowlands, Gula, though not as prosperous as Asmara, has become a tranquil window to explore Eritrea's indigenous culture with its simple people and unexploited ecological landscape.
