What to pack for Djibouti in the summer

In Djibouti, summer temperatures can reach up to 100°F (38°C) or higher, so it is important to bring lightweight and breathable clothing.

Opt for loose-fitting garments made of natural fabrics like cotton or linen to help keep you cool in the hot and humid weather. Brightly colored clothing is common in Djibouti, so feel free to pack colorful tops and dresses.

Since Djibouti is a conservative Muslim country, it is advised to dress modestly. Women should bring longer skirts or dresses that cover the knees, as well as tops that cover the shoulders and cleavage. Men should pack long pants and shirts with sleeves.

It is also a good idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong African sun.(setq)

Djibouti experiences a hot and arid climate during the summer months, with temperatures often soaring above 40°C.

The country receives very little rainfall overall, but occasional late summer showers provide some relief from the intense heat. Strong winds, known as the "Gharbi", can also blow across the country during this time, further adding to the challenging weather conditions.

Despite the harsh climate, Djibouti's coastal location offers some respite with cool sea breezes providing relief in certain areas.
