Djibouti town is a special place, combining Islamic population, seedy bars, French legionnaires, arabic architecture, and African influences: an exotic mix.
After a night drive from Dire Dawa in Ethiopia, we arrived in the heat and chaos of Djibouti. The dirty streets and a humid, unforgiving climate were a complete contrast to what we were used to, and it took some time to adjust. But pretty soon, we discovered the attractions of Djibouti ville. There are no major sights, but the attractions are rather in the atmosphere, the collection of different architectural styles, the influences from Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, all making for an exotic mix. To the south of the city you can find the African quarter, a messy, noisy, dirty and poor area of town, but at the same time, a colourful and lively place. While less geared towards visitors, it is here that you will find lots of qat stalls where Djiboutians fill up on their daily dose of the sedative leaves.
