About
Djibouti is a small country located in the Horn of Africa, known for its strategic position near some of the world's busiest shipping lanes. Its capital city is Djibouti City.
The nation's industrial base is modest, primarily centered around services, particularly port services, transportation, and logistics due to its important geographic location. Djibouti also has growing sectors in telecommunications and financial services.
French and Arabic are the official languages of Djibouti, with Somali and Afar also widely spoken, reflecting the country's diverse ethnic makeup.
Djibouti's economy is heavily reliant on its service sector, especially activities related to its port and international shipping; agriculture plays a minimal role due to the arid environment. The country's culture is a blend of Somali, Afar, Arab, and French influences, visible in its language, cuisine, and social customs.
Djibouti is also known for its historical significance as a trading hub and its unique landscapes, including Lake Assal and the Gulf of Tadjoura, despite the environmental challenges posed by its harsh, desert climate.
