A low coral island in the Gulf of Tadjoura, a short boat ride from Djibouti City, ringed by reefs and mangrove stands. Snorkeling and diving reveal healthy coral gardens, and between November and February whale sharks gather in the surrounding gulf. Simple bungalows and day trips serve weekenders escaping the capital's heat.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
