Tadjoura is a peaceful town right on the coast of the Gulf bearing its name, with a pleasant boulevard where you can join the locals for a stroll.
The next day, I went to town in the afternoon for a walk. Tadjoura, although tiny, is one of the oldest towns on the East African coast, dating from at least the 12th century. For a long time, it was the seat of the Afar Sultanate, and still now it is governed by a sultan. Obviously, the strategic position of this northeastern tip of Africa was also important back then, and Tadjoura was the port from where goods were transported to the highlands of Abyssinia (current Ethiopia). Not much has changed: while Tadjoura has declined in importance, Djibouti nowadays thrives on the tensions between Eritrea and Ethiopia and sees many hundreds of trucks driving up and down to the highlands. In earlier days, camel trains had much the same function; although they still exist, the bulk of goods is transported by truck. The goods are different though: Tadjoura was used for slave and ivory trade, among others. The decline of Tadjoura set in when the railway line from Djibouti was opened.
