Djibouti is a small, strategically located country on the Horn of Africa, known for its volcanic landscapes, Lake Assal and whale shark snorkelling. It is also a key stop for travellers heading to Somaliland and Somalia. A Plus Travel compares fares from UK airports to Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport (JIB).
There is no direct UK flight. Most itineraries connect through Addis Ababa, Istanbul, Dubai, Doha or Cairo and take around 10 to 14 hours in total. Djibouti is three hours ahead of the UK in winter. See also flights to Hargeisa.
November to February is the coolest period and best for outdoor travel. May to September is extremely hot.
Visit Lake Assal, Lake Abbe, the Day Forest National Park and Tadjoura, and snorkel with whale sharks between November and January.
