Djibouti is a land of contrasts, where the barren landscape and stark mountains are contrasted by the beautiful Red Sea coastline. The marine life here is spectacular, and there are plenty of opportunities for diving and snorkelling. If you're looking for an adventure, you'll find plenty to keep you busy in Djibouti - from hiking and camping in the wilderness to camel rides through the desert. Read on to find out more about the best natural highlights of this fascinating country.

The coastline is one of Djibouti's most impressive features, with its turquoise waters and white-sand beaches. The Gulf of Tadjoura is especially beautiful, and it's well worth taking a boat trip along the coast to see the best of the scenery. Marine life is abundant here, and you can expect to see dolphins, whales and sea turtles swimming in the waters.

If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, head inland to the mountains and plateaus. The landscape here is stark and barren, but it's also home to some spectacular wildlife. You'll find a variety of animals living in the mountains, including gazelles, jackals and hyenas. There are also plenty of opportunities for hiking and camping in this beautiful wilderness area.

Another must-see destination in Djibouti is the Danakil Depression. This unique geological feature is one of the most inhospitable places on Earth, but it's also one of the most fascinating. The Depression is home to a number of rare animals and plants, and it's a popular destination for hikers and photographers. Be warned, though - the Danakil Depression is an extremely hot and dry place, so make sure you're well prepared before visiting.

So if you're looking for an exotic and adventure-filled holiday destination, be sure to add Djibouti to your list. With its beautiful coastline, rugged mountains and fascinating wildlife, there's something for everyone in this amazing country.
