When to Book

Airports

Djibouti–Ambouli International Airport (JIB) serves Djibouti, and it's about five miles from Djibouti City. It is used by the public and military, and you can rent a car from Europcar at the airport or take a taxi from the airport into town.

When to Go

The country is a less attractive destination during the summer, when temperatures can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, than at other times of the year. Though this makes for cheaper flights to Djibouti, it is not as popular a time to visit as the rest of the year.

What’s the Weather Like?

Due to its location on the African continent, Djibouti has year-round warm weather. As a result, it's a great place to go on a vacation during the coldest times of the year. Even winters in Djibouti are sunny and pleasant.
