The nearest railway station is in Vasco da Gama, about five kilometres away. Limited parking for 400 vehicles is available outside the main terminal.
You will depart from Terminal 2. For a smooth experience, ensure you allow at least an hour and a half for processing, although the airport’s 75 check-in counters and security checks are highly efficient. While you wait, you can access paid-for Wi-Fi, which is complimentary for Business and First Class passengers in the VIP lounge. For refreshments, snack bars and a restaurant in the domestic terminal area offer light and more substantial meals. You can also browse the Duty Free outlets and other retail vendors for travel essentials and souvenirs before you board your flight.

Explore Djibouti City, a lively and cosmopolitan hub. Shop at local markets, such as the Central Market, showcasing an abundance of exotic spices and traditional handicrafts.
Then discover natural wonders such as the surreal Lac Assal, the lowest point in Africa and one of the world’s saltiest lakes. Here, dazzling white salt flats dramatically contrast with the turquoise water. For a truly unforgettable marine encounter, dive or snorkel in the Gulf of Tadjoura.
