Djibouti Transportation Tips by janiebaxter

Ethiopian Airlines - free hotel stay

The only airline to fly to Djibouti from London at the time I went, November 2009, was Ethiopian. Djibouti and Ethiopia have good relations with each other and there are regular flights via Addis Ababa.
Our flight to Addis was 7 hours out and as our connection was longer than 6 hours we used the free hotel transfer option available. Once you arrive at Addis airport go down to the bottom floor and to the transfer desk, show them your tickets or boarding pass. They will take them along with your passport and tell you to wait. After only about 20 minutes we were taken through immigration by airline staff and to a bus which took us to the Riviera Hotel, about 20 minutes drive away. We were given breakfast and a room for the day as well as lunch just before we left. The hotel is a good standard, very clean, nice sized room and friendly staff. We were transferred back to the airport in time for our flight to Djibouti. The airline also stamp your boarding pass so you do not need an immigration stamp and can pass easily through.

Port Peche

Port Peche is the fishing port, which is close to the main port. This is where the fishing boats arrive and depart and where you can get a boat to take you to see the whale sharks or to snorkel. Our trip on the MY Deli departed from and returned to Port Peche.
