Entry requirements for Tourism travel

Do Morocco citizens need a visa for Djibouti? For tourism travel, the current rule is e-visa, with a permitted stay of up to 90 days per visit. This tourism rule was last checked against an official government source — Official government (evisa.gouv.dj), on 2026-08-31. It applies to Morocco passport holders, but the exact conditions granted on the day can still differ, so keep the requirements below — and the official source in the sidebar — handy when you plan your trip.

An e-visa means you apply online before you travel and receive approval electronically, without an embassy visit. Approval is usually subject to the authorities’ checks, so apply with enough time before departure and keep the approved e-visa with your documents.

Planning your trip to Djibouti

Practical notes about Djibouti — checked as part of this page for tourism travellers.

The White Crust of the Assal and the Salt of the Plain

The lake of the Assal, the great salt pan of the country that lies in the depression of the Afar, far below sea level, is one of the most extraordinary natural features of the entire African continent, a blinding white dish of the salt crust that glitters beneath the ring of the black volcanic hills. The salt caravan of the Afar, the long lines of the camels that still carry the giant slabs of the salt quarried from the lake to the markets of the highlands, has trekked these same paths for centuries, unbroken by the modern age. The cliffs and the hot springs of the western shore, the enormous crater lakes of the region and the shimmering heat of the baking plain give this lunar, mineral world its strange, unforgettable beauty.

The Basins of the Ghoubet and the Whale Sharks of the Bay

The gulf of the Ghoubet al-Kharab, the great bay of the country that bites deep between the volcanic headlands of the coast, holds one of the wonders of the marine world of the horn of Africa, a deep trench of the water where the whale sharks, the enormous spotted gentle giants of the seas, gather to feed through the months of the northern winter. The waters of the bay, the famous site of the swimming with the whales, are also the hunting ground of the mantas, the dolphins and the turtles that cruise the drop-offs of the coral, and the expeditions of the bay give the rare, humbling encounter with the biggest fish of the ocean. The cliffs and the mangroves of the northern arm, with their flamingos and their herons, complete the untamed aquarium of this extraordinary desert coastline.

The City on the Gulf and the Ports of the Horn

The capital of the country, the seaport of the Djibouti City that spreads across the headland overlooking the gulf of the Tadjoura, is the extraordinary crossroads of the horn of Africa, a hard colonial town of the boulevards, the markets and the immense container cranes of the newest harbours. The port of the city, the modern terminal of the commerce that serves the landlocked highlands of the neighbour, and the naval bases of the foreign powers that crowd the entrance of the gulf, run the astonishing shipping business of the nation. The old quarter of the town, with its coffee houses, its minarets and its waterfront street of the dhows, carries the everyday life of the capital beside the enormous industry of the quays.

The Forest of the Day and the Heights of the Goda

The mountains of the Goda, the striking forested massif of the north of the country that rises suddenly from the baking plain, hold the unexpected green world of the day, the relic forest of the juniper and the cycads that clings to the misty heights above the gulf. The leafy clearing of the Day, with its picnic springs and its troops of the hamadryas baboons, is the garden of the nation, a cool, bird-filled pocket in the desert of the Afar, reached along the stunning cliff road of the massif. The waterfalls and the viewpoints of the escarpment, with the sea glittering far below the drop, give the astonishing contrast of the green highlands and the white wasteland that fills the horizon of the north.
