Obock

Obock, Djibouti

Obock evokes the adventures of Henry de Monfreid, a writer-adventurer who lived here with his family. His house is still there, not far from the port.

The other vestiges of this past are:

- The house of Governor Léonce Lagarde, which is being restored and which has a superb view of the coast,

- The marine cemetery where a hundred French sailors were buried who were struck down by a contagious disease at the end of the 19th century. The whiteness of the well-aligned tombs will mark you.

The ferry connects Obock to Djibouti twice a week.

Obock, with its seaside campsites, can be a stopover to the Godoria mangroves further north.
