Queueing Etiquette in Eritrea

Queueing is generally informal in Eritrea, so expect people to form loose lines or cluster around a counter rather than stand in a strict single-file queue, especially at markets, bus stops, and small shops. In busy public settings, patience and a calm, non-confrontational approach matter more than insisting on a rigid line, though in banks, government offices, and other formal places people usually do wait their turn.
