Best Places to Visit in Djibouti

This country has a multilayered history and hints of its earlier French colonization days are still evident. The tourist places in Djibouti mirror the diverse cultural influences and there are some fascinating sites to see. It’s a country of contrasts. Hop on board and explore the mountains, deserts, and stretches of white, sandy beaches of Djibouti.

Abourma Rock Art Site

As one of the top attractions in Djibouti, this site features unspoiled rock carvings dating all the way back to the Neolithic period. There are a number of engravings of animals that once (but no longer) roamed here, including giraffes and various species of antelope. French archeologists came across this incredible find in 2008 and it’s simply a must-see when visiting Djibouti.

Decan

Just six miles out of Djibouti City, Decan is a wildlife conservation center for many animal species. With its unique ecosystem, this is not a zoo but a natural reserve for trafficked and orphaned animals. Here, you can view and learn more about animals such as lions, cheetahs zebras, and porcupines in their habitats. If you’re an avid birdwatcher, you can look forward to seeing birds such as flamingos, herons, and spoonbills.

Les Allols

This natural depression spotlights the marvels of geological transformation, featuring faults and folds, age-old lava, fiery black rocks, and salt fields. It’s a real adventure exploring Les Allols on foot — remember those walking shoes! If you like to visit sites such as these, we recommend you also check out the Lac Assal and Lac Abbé crate and saltwater lakes.

Things to do in Djibouti

Apart from its interesting landmarks, Djibouti has tons of fun things to do, especially if you’re a fan of the outdoors.

Sun, surf, and sand — visit Moucha Island

Moucha Island, with its crystal-clear waters, wide-open skies, and pristine beaches, is a stunning location for a day visit. It’s just off the coast of Djibouti. Simply book a boat to get you there in no time. Whether you lounge on the beach or snorkel and explore the beautiful coral reefs, Moucha Island is a fun day out for the whole family.

Connect with Nature — Hike through Day Forest National Park

Day Forest National Park is a conservancy with spectacular, biodiverse scenery consisting of gentle hills and picture-perfect waterfalls. There’s a mix of animals, birds, and plants, including some rare species. The hiking trails are marked according to distance and difficulty, which means young and old can enjoy nature on foot.

Go on a Unique Shopping Spree — Spend a Few Hours in Parking Place Menelik

Parking Place Menelik — named after Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia — is a popular marketplace in Djibouti City. The jumble of spices, traditional crafts, clothing, and fresh (and prepared) food captures the country’s eclectic mix of cultures and influences. It opens a window into “real-world” Djibouti and makes for a splendid day of all-round shopping.

Restaurants in Djibouti

Djibouti’s food is a delightful blend of local and international culinary experiences. If you’re a foodie, you must try Faf-fah, a thick vegetable soup, and Yetakelt W’et, a mixed vegetable stew with a spicy kick. Another local favorite is Skudahkaris. It’s made with lamb, rice, and warm spices such as cardamom and is often served on special days.

For your restaurant outings, we recommend Café de la Gare for French and European cuisine, Kurry for authentic Indian food, and The Melting Pot for Japanese and other Asian fusions. Kobeb is the place to go for local dishes.

Djibouti’s history and strategic location are reflected in its cultures and languages. Arabic and French are the official languages.
