Few Westerners realize that this tiny country even exists. But those who travel here experience a trip filled with expansive canyons, salt lakes and surreal landscapes begging to be explored. This is a place that’s remarkably underdeveloped, allowing you to experience the land — and the people — in a more meaningful way.

Wander through the historic buildings of the “White City,” see Lake Assal — the lowest point on land in Africa — and explore the bustling capital of Djibouti City. This country is also teeming with amazing day hikes, shopping and even whale-shark spotting in the Gulf of Tadjoura. And on our small group Djibouti Tours, you’ll get to experience everything this lesser-known country has to offer.
