The Allols are one of the most amazing places in Djibouti, and very few are visited because they are quite remote.

If the necessary authorizations for access to Les Allols have not been obtained, the visit to the Allols will be replaced by a stay in Daffeynaytou

DAY 1: Visit the DECAN Refuge

Arrival Djibouti City – Transfer from the airport to your accommodation

Our local agency puts a comfortable and air-conditioned apartment at your disposal to spend the night there and have breakfast prepared according to your wishes. Naturally, if you prefer, hotel accommodation can be booked.

Evening meal: restaurant in Djibouti

Night: in our apartment or hotel

DAY 2: From Djibouti to Tadjourah via Lake Assal

Morning: departure from Djibouti early in the morning. About forty km before reaching Lake Assal, we will stop to admire the grandiose landscape of the Dimbiya Canyon nicknamed the “Grand Canyon of Djibouti” ….

A few kilometers further on, another stop at the stele of J. Borrel, a French magistrate whose partly charred body was found at the bottom of the cliff on the morning of October 18, 1995. "The Borrel affair" poisoned relations for a few years between the Djiboutian and French states.

Located 153 meters below sea level, Lake Assal is one of the saltiest in the world (more than 300 grams of salt per liter of water). This fact, added to the very high evaporation due to the intense heat that reigns there, explains why salt has been mined here for hundreds of years. No living organism can survive in the waters of Lake Assal. If the weather is right, we can swim there; plastic shoes are necessary to avoid injury from the sharp salt crystals.

The very high temperatures that prevail in this place do not make it very hospitable, but its legendary beauty, described by the adventurer writer J. Kessel, makes it an unmissable site.

Lunch: picnic on the beach at Goubet in the shade of a hard pitch, facing Devil's Island

Afternoon: we will visit the lava field located between Assal and Goubet, where we will observe the fault of the rift over a few meters, which at this place is only a few centimeters wide.

Evening meal and night at Hotel Golfe in Tadjourah
