Situated only 6 kilometres from the capital city of Djibouti, Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport serves as the primary gateway to explore this fascinating country in East Africa. With airlines operating flights from major airports across the globe, it’s accessible and well-connected.
Several international and local car rental companies have their counters at the airport, enabling you to pick up your hire car directly upon arrival. Always book in advance to get the best deal.
Driving in Djibouti differs from the UK, as they drive on the right-hand side of the road. Road conditions can sometimes be challenging with somewhat chaotic traffic, hence we recommend a sturdy vehicle, ideally an SUV, for comfort and security.
Several petrol stations are located close to the airport, some even open 24/7. Fuel prices in Djibouti are generally higher compared to the UK, so keep this in mind when planning your budget.
You can expect a hot desert climate in Djibouti, with temperatures rarely falling below 30°C, so light clothing, sun cream, and a good hat are essentials. Don't forget your driving licence!
The Djiboutian franc is the standard currency here, though US dollars are also widely accepted. Credit card acceptance can be unreliable, so cash is king.
With Djibouti City just a short drive away, the airport serves as an excellent starting point for your journey. Additionally, the coastal towns of Tadjourah and Obock are reachable and offer breathtaking views and cultural insights.
We hope this information helps to ensure a smooth and exciting car journey through Djibouti. Happy travels!
