best places to visit in Djibouti
Djibouti City
Djibouti, also called Djibouti City, is the eponymous capital and largest city of Djibouti. The city is a must-visit for a variety of purposes.
First, it’s a great staging area for excursions into the hinterland or out on the sea. Second, it serves as a small dose of comfort when you’re coming back from those excursions. There are good restaurants, bars, and hotels here, offering the potential comforts you might look forward to. Third, it’s really charming and easy to love. You’ll notice a vibe of change about the lifestyle here, as the people work to transform their city from the rundown outpost it once was in the 80s and 90s. Therefore, the city has a lot of cultural contradictions that are interesting to observe.
Tadjoura
Tadjoura is one of the oldest towns on the east coast of Africa and dates back at least to the 12th century.
Governed by a sultan, Tadjoura was once a great port for goods between Djibouti and Ethiopia – including, unfortunately, slave trade. Often called La Ville Blanche, or White Town, because of the many lovely, whitewashed homes in town, it’s a great town for walking around as there are many great views of the waterfront. There are a number of nice mosques to see and you’ll love relaxing and soaking up the atmosphere of this quieter and less chaotic version of Djibouti City.
