Nefasit (Arabic: نفاسيت, Tigrinya: ነፋሲት Tigrinya pronunciation: [nɐfasit]), also known as Tappa Nefasit, is a small town in the Northern Red Sea Region of Eritrea. Monastery of Debre Bizen is located at the mountains above.[citation needed]
According to multiple tour groups the stretch between the capital Asmara and Nefasit is the most beautiful in Eritrea. There's a colonial era Italian railway that occasionally runs from Asmara.[citation needed]
