 | Djibouti Tourist Traps | Tips 1 - 5 of 5 |  |
Popular Tourist Traps | Other Tourist Traps Tips | All Tips (5) Taxi drivers are filthy bastards worldwide, but the taxis at the Djibouti airport are really bad. I had several hassle me as I came out of the airport and they distracted me so I did not see the sign (pictured) with the taxi fares. I wanted to go to a hotel that is before the town centre (centre ville) and I was asked for 2500 francs. ($14) to go about 4 miles. Had I seen the sign I would have known the highest price I would have had to pay would have been 800 francs ($4.55). I agreed $7 or 1200 francs. Do not trust these guys! Please see my Transportation Tip for returning to the airport.
You will probably need a taxi, so save my tip on your ‘Custom Travel Guide’ before you go! Or, just read the sign. Maybe even take a picture of it!

The country as a whole could called as a tourist trap par excellence, with Djibouti City being the jewel of the crown when it comes to offering a filthy experience at 5 star rates!
If you must stick around Djibouti for some reason, do try and get out of the city - the countryside is a bit better. Leave a Comment

don't call your country from the hotel!!!
it costs 10 dollars per minute...buy some pre paid cards..not cheap too!
the taxis tend to make you pay twice the price.So ask the price always before getting into a taxi. Leave a Comment

Sometimes they try to ask much more (ridiculous scums, 5$) for the short trips. The price is 40 frank, not 500:) Leave a Comment

The price of the taxis is about 3 € to go from side to side of the city. Taxi drivers will try to trap you.
ask the price before go in the taxi. If it so much, you have to say to him that you pay less. About 3 € not more. If he doesn't want, the rest of the taxi drivers will come to you for this price.
ever you can pay a little money more. Other alternative is to take the cellular phone number of a friend taxi driver and always call him. They work all the day. Leave a Comment
