Quintessence of Djibouti πŸ‡©πŸ‡―

Djibouti is one of the smallest countries in Africa but it’s packed with things to do by land and by sea. Most trips start in the capital of Djibouti City, an interesting place to check out the markets and eat international foods such as Yemeni oven baked fish and bread.
A must-do activity is a two-day jeep trip to the Mars-like terrain of Lake Abbe and overnight stay in the nomad encampment. You will see an oasis, nomadic villages, and wildlife on the way. Before returning to the city you can float in Lake Assal, a stunning lake that is saltier than the Dead Sea and the second lowest place on earth.

By sea, there are excellent scuba and snorkel opportunities in the Gulf of Tadjoura . In the winter, whale sharks can be seen by snorkel and scuba expedition. There are a few liveaboards for scuba diving and Djibouti is home to one of only two places in the world where it’s possible to dive between tectonic plates.
The best time to visit is from November-February as summer can be incredibly hot and humid.
