Surrealistically beautiful lakes

Visiting Lac Abbé and Lac Assal is also difficult. These two lakes are located in Djibouti, one of the world's least visited countries and not a popular tourist destination. There is little visitor traffic aside from some members of foreign military bases and a couple of adventurers with a desire to visit off-the-beaten-path countries. Djibouti is the most expensive country in Africa, with limited flights, conflicting land borders, and a strategic position for military alliances. Three-star hotels rarely cost less than $80 USD per night, and multi-day tours can easily cost thousands of dollars.

Lac Abbe's scenery has been described as "otherworldly." Its fumaroles, or volcanic vents, hot springs, and flamingos that migrate from South Africa make it one of the most unique places in the world, spanning the border of Djibouti and Ethiopia. Travel through Afar country and spend the night in an authentic Afar hut. Seeing the breathtaking sunrise and sunset will make this a trip you will never forget. On your way back to Djibouti City, stop by Lac Assal, the world's largest salt reserve and the lowest point on the African continent.

Lake Abbe is an incredibly unique and imposing landscape that is both breathtakingly beautiful and terrifyingly terrifying. This lovely lake, which is just under 20 square kilometers in size, is poisonous due to its high salt content, but it still supports a diverse range of animals. The large rock formations jettisoning out into the sky are Lake Abba's most distinguishing feature. These rock formations, on the other hand, are naturally occurring chimneys that spew steam from underground springs in the morning.
