Halib Mentel (Arabic: هاليب مينتل), also referred to as Halibmentel or Halimentel, is a village in Eritrea. It is approximately 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) east of the city of Keren.

Overview

Halib Mentel mostly consists of round huts, known as tukuls, and has a large Catholic church.^[1] The village is on the trackbed of the Eritrean Railway, between Asmara and Keren. The railway closed in 1975, though there are plans to re-open it.^[2]
