Hagaz is an important town in the Anseba region of northern Eritrea, located about 90 kilometers northwest of the capital Asmara. The region is situated on a high plateau at an altitude of about 2,200 meters above sea level and has a relatively mild climate, making it one of Eritrea's major agricultural production areas.
Hagaz was an important military stronghold during the Italian colonial period and retains some of its colonial architecture. The population is predominantly Tigrinya, with a traditional farming culture and Christian beliefs, as well as unique folk festivals and handicraft traditions.
The economy is based on agriculture, with the main crops being moss bran and barley, and the neighboring mountainous areas containing mineral resources such as gold and copper. The town is strategically located on the border between Kayin City and Sudan, making it a regional trade hub.
Hagaz is surrounded by natural landscapes such as the Debarwa volcano, but tourism facilities are relatively modest. It is connected to the main cities by the Asmara-Keren highway, and there are no airport facilities, so it is recommended to travel by land.
