What to pack for Djibouti in the winter

In the winter months in Djibouti, the weather is mild with average temperatures ranging from the 70s to the low 80s Fahrenheit during the day.

However, it can get cooler at night, so it is advisable to bring some light layers such as long-sleeved shirts, light sweaters, and jackets for the evenings. Additionally, since Djibouti is a predominantly Muslim country, it is important to dress conservatively, particularly when visiting religious sites or areas outside of the main tourist areas.

Loose-fitting clothing that covers the shoulders and knees is recommended out of respect for the local culture. Comfortable and breathable clothing made from lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen is ideal for the warm days in Djibouti. Sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses are also essential items to protect yourself from the strong equatorial sun during daytime excursions.

Lastly, don't forget to pack a sturdy pair of walking shoes or sandals for exploring the diverse landscapes of Djibouti, from sandy deserts to rocky coastlines.
