Voice of Travelers to Djibouti
Great time in Djibouti with an onward ticket
I traveled on an onward ticket from Dubai through Djibouti to Ethiopia. I purchased the ticket with Emirates Airlines. This ticket was expensive, but I really wanted to see Djibouti on my way, so I bought this ticket instead a regular direct ticket to Ethiopia. Emirates Airlines are known for their great service, and good vegetarian food was included in the price of the airfare ticket onboard. I loved Djibouti. I spent most of my three days in Djibouti City and its surroundings. With a direct ticket to Ethiopia, this would not have been possible. I fell in love with Djibouti and its culture. I am more than happy that I didn't buy a direct ticket to Ethiopia because with such a ticket I would have missed discovering the little-known country of Djibouti.
Cheap ticket to Djibouti City
I found a very good return ticket deal to Djibouti City with a hotel and transportation included. Not knowing much about Djibouti, I wanted to give it a try and I purchased the ticket online. My journey started in Cairo on a direct flight to Djibouti. The ticket was issued for Djibouti City, where I spent my first two days. Then, I bought a bus ticket to the Lake Assal area, and I also visited Day Forest National Park which is located in Goda Mountains of Djibouti. These trips were absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend Djibouti highly enough.
