The ferry in Djibouti is an institution, and as such it is worthy of interest.
Admittedly, the children of Tadjourah no longer dive from the upper parts of the ferry before its departure as they did until the 2010s, but the embarkation and disembarkation of the vehicles remains an astonishing spectacle.
Approaching the ports of Tadjourah and Obock by sea offers another, unusual view of these towns and their coastal environment.
Crossing on the ferry is a way of living the daily life of the local population and meeting them.
The crossing to Tadjourah takes around 2 hours and that to Obock takes 2h30.
The ferry leaves the port of l'Escale in Djibouti early in the morning and makes the return trip from Tadjourah or Obock, on the same day in the early afternoon.
