“Largest Port in Djibouti”

Find Busiest Djibouti Port

Djibouti is a small country in the Horn of Africa, covering 23,200 square kilometers. It is bordered by Somaliland, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden. Djibouti’s strategic location at the crossroads of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden has provided it with a significant competitive advantage in the international marine trade.

Djibouti Port is the most valuable asset in this tiny nation of around one million people. It drives the $4 billion city-state economy of Djibouti. Djibouti’s port authority manages the seaport, which the Djiboutian government controls. Learn more about Djibouti ports below.
