Social Profile

Food & Drink: There are restaurants to suit all tastes, serving French, Vietnamese, Chinese, Arab and local specialities. Drink will be limited in Muslim areas (particularly during Ramadan).

Shopping: Lively and colourful local markets are well worth visiting and local crafts and artefacts can be bought. Shopping hours: Daily 0730-1200 and 1600-1900.

Social Conventions: Casual wear is widely acceptable, but visitors are reminded that Djibouti is a Muslim country and certain codes of behaviour should be observed. Tipping: A ten per cent service charge is usually added to bills. Tipping is rare and never requested. Not usual for taxi drivers. A tariff is normally set but visitors will be charged at a higher rate.
