The Republic of Djibouti is located in the Horn of Africa sharing borders with Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, and a coastline on the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. The government is a republic with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government. Djibouti has very few natural resources or arable land. Much of the population of about 810,000 people is concentrated in the capital, Djibouti City.
Djibouti gained independence from France in 1977. The country maintains close ties with France, and France keeps a sizeable military presence in the country. Djibouti’s economy is highly dependent on foreign aid and revenues from shipping taxes and fees. Because the country is located at the mouth of the Red Sea, this strategic location makes it a main shipping centre for the entire region.
Djibouti has the potential to develop tourism. There are tourist facilities in Djibouti City, but outside the city, facilities are limited. Vsitors can enjoy the picturesque landscapes of the country, the lakes, beaches, mountain ranges, and the Day Forest National Park.
