Djibouti City

Djibouti is the capital city of Djibouti and has a population of around 400,000. The city was founded in 1888 and was designated the capital of French Somaliland three years later. The city has some beaches along its eastern shore.

From Djibouti there is a train leaving for Addis Ababa in Ethiopia via Harar. The French built the whole system because they wanted Djibouti to be the major port for all of Ethiopia. This would be a very cool way to travel to Addis.
