European Quarter, Djibouti City
Since the Sinai Canal opened in
Egypt, linking the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, and thus creating a quick sea route between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, Djibouti has been a bustling port. Most of the population of the territory of Djibouti live in or near Djibouti City. It is also linked to other areas of Africa by over-land trade routes, and there are some nomads still to be found in the interior.
