Desert Discoveries - Djibouti
Djibouti is arguably the most stable country in the Horn of Africa, and is currently playing host to a large contingent of American troops based at Camp Lemonier, as well as a regiment of the French Foreign Legion. Somehow these visitors only add to the sense of romance that permeates the extraordinary melting-pot that is Djibouti, with its shifting population of fine-boned Danakil warriors, Somali refugees, Yemeni merchants and Francophone adventurers of all kinds. Tintin fans should note that the boy hero nearly made it to Djibouti, but not quite. It is a very Tintinesque sort of place.

World66 Travel Guide - Djibouti
Djibouti is a small country in East Africa, that borders on the Red Sea, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. The French came into the area in 1862, having acquired the right to settle there from the Afar Sultans of Obock in exchange for money and other goods. Not to be outdone, the Sultan of Tadoura made a similar agreement with the French in 1884.

Lonely Planet - Djibouti
Tiny, but ambitious: this is Djibouti. Despite its lack of natural resources, the country tries hard to be recognised as a little Dubai in the Red Sea. Djibouti is an ideal spot to recharge your batteries before (or after) an overland trip through Eritrea or Ethiopia
