That depends largely on where you’d like to go. Downtown Djibouti, about 1 mile from Djibouti Airport (JIB-Ambouli), can be a little daunting to drive in. Make things easy by reserving something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. Having said that, Djibouti is a good base to explore many of the sandy shores in Africa. If your escape is more about cruising the wide-open roads, you may want a ride with a bit more comfort and extra legroom. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
