Djibouti Travel Forum

Hi
I'm on the possibly foolish quest of planning an overland trip from capetown to europe. Sudan is causing a few problems, so does anybody know of any ferries going from djibouti to eygpt or anywher. Need to find a way to get a car and myself to either eygpt or middle east?

WE are going to Djibouti end of March 2008 (in 2 weeks) and I like to buy local art (oil paintings, sculptures what is available) Any recommendations ? Addresses of local galleries or type of art to buy ?
Thanks
Ag

I will be there end of Apr, anyone used to be there,
plesae help to suggest hotel

Hello there!
I'm going to go in Djibouti in January and I would like to know more about the country. If there is someone of you living there I would be grateful if he/she could help me with some info...
Apparently, I'm going to stay there for long period of time and I will definitely need to know more.
For example:What are "the first 10 Watch out in Djibouti"?
Thanks for your answers in advance!

hello there, can anybody help me with some info regarding getting a ferry in djibouti (me and my bike) to go to italy or greece? think i'll be there around jnue/july next year. thanks.

I'll be diving in Djibouti in late October. Can anyone tell me what is the average water temp then? Would a 3ml suit be enough? I'm guessing it will be it'd be nice to know for sure.
Thanks

Hi,
My flight will be there around 9 o'clock in the evening. Can I find a taxi at the airport ? And Is it easy to find some budget hotel ?
And also is it easy to find a car to far places ? (or tour bus to Abbe, etc...)

Hi again, well I'm definitely going! Travel is now booked.
1) Now regarding visas, I'm French (so French Passport) living in UK.
Do I need a visa? I'm getting conflicting infos but it looks like I may need one. Also I can't find any embassy or consulate of Djibouti in London, does any one know where I can get visa and whether it's cheaper in advance or on arrival.

2) I now that it will be hot but what's teh situation re mosquitos? do I need a net? I'll be on a diving boat all week except 1 night in Djibouti town. Will spray be sufficient or do I need a net?

Thanks for any tips.

I'm thinking of going there from London. Airline seems to be Dhalloo or nothing, any comments on this airline?
