8 days in Djibouti Itinerary

Djibouti, the country's eponymous capital and largest city, houses over two thirds of the nation's population.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Hamoudi Mosque and Day Forest National Park. Step out of Djibouti with an excursion to Arta Beach in Arta--about 40 minutes away. There's lots more to do: take a tour by water with Aden Fishing, kick back and relax at Khor Ambado Beach, explore the activities along Lake Assal, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Al Molk Mosque.
