Djibouti
Djibouti occupies a small but geologically dramatic corner of the Horn of Africa, where the Afar Depression sinks below sea level and salt lakes shimmer white under relentless sun. The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden frame its coastline, and the heat here is among the most persistent on earth. Life concentrates in the capital, while the interior remains largely bare and austere.
About Djibouti
Overview
Djibouti sits at the intersection of northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, bordered by Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia, with coastline along the Gulf of Tadjoura and Gulf of Aden. The capital, also called Djibouti City, holds most of the country's population. French and Arabic are official languages, and the Djiboutian franc is the currency. The culture blends Somali, Afar, and Arab influences in food, dress, and daily rhythm.
