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.
We visited Djibouti right in the middle of the Ramadan period. Apart from having to do more of an effort to find food, and finding people often tired and shops closed, we were not directly affected by it. This would change on our way to Tadjoura. After a drive with great views over the Bay of Ghoubbet and through the volcanic landscape around Ardoukoba Volcano, the minivan climbed up the empty road. Almost all other passengers asleep, it seemed we were well on our way to Tadjoura. Suddenly, on a straight stretch of road, the driver completely lost control of the minivan and we hit the shoulder of the road. Hitting big rocks that rocked the minivan, the driver woke up and finally managed to steer us back to the asphalt. He had simply fallen asleep, exhausted by sleeping very little during the night and not eating during the day. It was much later when we finallly arrived and installed ourselves in one of the few hotels, just outside town and right on the shore.
