Tesseney is an important border town in Eritrea's western Gash Barka province, strategically located along the Barka River next to Sudan. As a key trade route between Eritrea and Sudan, Tesseney has a vibrant marketplace dominated by agricultural products (e.g. cotton, sesame) and livestock, and is a blend of the cultures of the two countries. Historically, Tesseney was an important stronghold during the Eritrean War of Independence, and today retains colonial architecture and remnants of the war, attracting history buffs. The city's hot and dry climate, with an average annual temperature of around 30°C, and the surrounding vast Savannah landscape and river scenery make it both a trading and tourist destination, and a window into western Eritrea.
