Djibouti Transportation

Overview

Aeroflot, Air France, Air Tanzania, Corsair, Ethiopian Airlines, Yemenia and Djibouti Airlines serve Djibouti. You can also fly from Paris with the charter company Corsair. Travel overland to Eritrea is now possible as the relations between the two countries have normalised, but there's no formal border post and traffic is limited to shared taxis from Obock to Moulhoule, the last town before the border. There should be other taxis plying the route from Moulhoule to Assab in Eritrea. There is an irregular bus service to Ethiopia, but the rail journey is far preferable. Very few travellers manage to negotiate sea passage out of Djibouti, as there is no passenger service. Cargo boats are probably out of the question, and don't count on being able to negotiate passage to Yemen on a dhow. Forget about crossing the Somali border - travel in Somalia is too dangerous.
