Voice of Travelers to Djibouti

Turkish Airlines provided excellent ticket and flight service to Djibouti

Hello. I am Jay from the Philippines. I want to thank Turkish Airlines for an incredible service from Istanbul to Djibouti. Ticket sale platform was easy to use. I had a slight issue confirming my ticket, but it was resolved asap by the customer service. It was a full flight, I'm upgraded to business class ticket, luckily. The seat arrangements was 2-2-2 with a semi flat bed. Although the pillow was a bit hard, the leather seat was fine. I had enough leg space as I am seated in the front. The cabin crew were very accommodating. They keep asking us if we need drinks or etc. So, I ordered food and found that it was fresh and delicious. I recommend booking a ticket and flying with Turkish Airlines to Djibouti.

Djibouti has a great bustling nightlife

Hello, my name is Jake. A party boy from New York who booked a ticket to Djibouti with his friends. I was very surprised at the bustling nightlife in Djibouti. Staying there was a perfect way to end my safari trips around Africa. And it was also a perfect way to reorient me about city life. My friends and I went club hopping. From La Galette to Club Menelik to Club Hermes. We also went to Sham's, La Oasis, and Le Maries. My personal favorite was the Club Menelik at the Menelik Hotel. The music has a wide range and drinks are quite affordable. I also very much enjoyed eating at the La Mer Rouge Restaurant. It has nice outdoor and indoor ambiance. The crabs and lobster dishes were perfect and fresh. I will surely book a ticket back to Djibouti again soon.

Unique casino experience in Djibouti

Hello, my name is Vanessa. After a month long of safari trips around Africa. My family booked a ticket to Djibouti. I'm from Monaco. Growing up, I've loved casinos. So, it was refreshing to see one in Djibouti. To think that Africa is all wildlife and nature sights. Boy, was I wrong. The Aden Bay Casino's located right by the beach, in the Sheraton Hotel. It truly felt like I was just back home. What made the experience unique was that the place is rich in biodiversity and nature. It's not the usual skyscrapers and buildings you see in Monaco. It was very interesting and invigorating to stay in Djibouti. It's a wildlife gem with a piece of home. I defenitely did not make a mistake in choosing to book a ticket to Djibouti last break. I will definitely book a ticket back to Djibouti at the next break.
