Djibouti may be one of the smallest African nations but it has a desolate beauty which emanates from its wonderfully weird landscapes. Its multitude of scenic spots and water sports options mean you’ll never be short of something to do. The breezy coastal city of Djibouti provides a welcome relief from the year-round hot and humid climate. Beaches are dotted along the eastern shore and local operators offer the chance to swim side by side with colossal whale sharks. On the border with Ethiopia you’ll find Lake Abbe – a barren landscape where three pieces of the Earth’s crust meet. This other-wordly terrain is a playground for hikers, with the dormant volcano of Mount Dama Ali on the northwest shore and vast salt flats to the south. Closer to the capital is Lake Assal which, at 157 metres below sea level, is Africa’s lowest point. For the best choice of accommodation, Djibouti city centre offers a wide selection of hotels.

Guest review
Clean, safe and a lovely retro lobby area. A good restaurant next door. And an Indian Restaurant at 5 mins walking. Taxi to European district 5 mins or 20 mins walking (felt very safe)
Working ATM too.
Rooms are functional, but with enough space and clean. We paid 25prct of the Sheraton price level. For us a no brainer. Highly recommended!

Guest review
I had a car accident in Djibouti, they were very empathic, comforted me, and gave me a room on the spot. I could use one of the staff's phone for a long time to text my family. Helped with printing and many other things. Even went to a shop to biy bandages for me. These people will do everything to make you feel good. Secure and clean location with a restaurant - spaghetti was delicious.
Well worth the money for the comfort, security, facilities, and extremely kind and helpful staff.
THANK YOU! I will book again without hesitation next time in Djibouti.
