DJIBOUTI is a tiny country located in the Horn of Africa in eastern Africa. There are 3 bordering countries: Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Eritrea is north and northwest of Djibouti, Ethiopia is west and southwest, and Somalia is southeast. Being a seaside country, Djibouti is found near the confluence of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The Bab al-Mandab strait connects the Red Sea to the north with the Gulf of Aden to the east; it is located east of northern Djibouti. The Sawabi Islands (Seven Brothers Islands) in the Bab al-Mandab strait are found east of the village Fagal. The eastward-facing "mouth" of Djibouti is the Gulf of Tadjoura, and the Tadjura Trough extends from that gulf eastward to the larger Gulf of Aden. The Gulf of Tadjoura features the Maskali Islands. The capital of Djibouti is aptly named Djibouti! The currency is the Djiboutian Franc, and its ISO 4217 currency code is DJF.
