Welcome to Djibouti, a small but striking country at the crossroads of Africa and the Middle East, defined by dramatic volcanic terrain. Lake Assal, one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth and Africa's lowest point, shimmers a brilliant white against black volcanic rock.

Djibouti welcomes adventurous travelers to discover a raw, dramatic landscape unlike anywhere else on Earth.
