Presidential Palace, Djibouti

Overlooking the Gulf of Tadjoura in central Djibouti City, the presidential palace serves as the official residence and workplace of the head of state. Its white walls and arched, Arab-influenced facade face the waterfront near the old harbour district. As the seat of executive power in the small Horn of Africa nation, the palace and its surroundings form a focal point of the capital's administrative quarter. The nearby seafront promenade offers views of the building and the busy port beyond.
