Djibouti City

When to go

Longer walking tours are better suited to cooler seasons and morning hours.

Things to see and do

Discover central squares and shopping streets; arrange a seaside excursion separately with a local operator.

Practical tips

Water and sun protection are necessary even for short walks. Separate warnings apply to journeys into border areas.

Getting there and getting around

The international airport serves the capital; clarify collection arrangements and the transfer price beforehand.

Where to stay

Compare access to your destinations and air conditioning at the accommodation, rather than only the view of the bay.

What to try

Freshly prepared fish, spiced rice and flatbread offer an introduction; tea suits a short café break.
