Unique Architecture

When it comes to reasons to visit Djibouti, can't help but mention. As a former French colony, Djibouti City has preserved some stunning buildings that reflect the French architectural style. Traveling from downtown near the National Assembly to Heron, or from Harmouss to Quartier 7, you'll be amazed at how quickly the landscape changes. It's an eye-opening look at Djibouti's many facets.

Its captivating landscapes of deserts, volcanoes, and salt lakes sometimes make us forget that Djibouti also has a distinct architectural heritage, a testament to its location between East and West. Amazing archaeological sites can be found in the heart of its large rocky massifs. Tumuli, sepulchres, and rock paintings bear witness to the wealth of thousand-year-old cultures. The Afar people's habitat will astound you with its ingenuity.

Djibouti also has a rich colonial heritage, with former trading posts that have been transformed into cities through Western urban planning and are home to cosmopolitan architecture. Djibouti is now at the center of major geostrategic issues, attracting all eyes and all investments, as pharaonic projects multiply. However, preserving its heritage remains a top priority. Set out on an unexpected journey between tradition and modernity!
