Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, is a crossroads between Africa, Arabia and the Red Sea. The capital, Djibouti-Ville, is a blend of cultures, with its spice markets, elegant mosques and French colonial buildings. Lake Assal, the lowest point on the African continent, offers lunar landscapes with its salt plains and unique geological formations.
The Gulf of Tadjourah, dotted with volcanic islands, is a spectacular diving site with abundant marine life. Lake Abbe, on the border with Ethiopia, features fairy chimneys and hot springs, creating an almost otherworldly landscape.
