Welcome to our site
The Gulf of Tadjoura is a gulf or basin found in the Indian Ocean in the Horn of Africa. It lies
at the entrance to the Red Sea, to the south of the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb. Most of its
coastline belongs to Djibouti, apart from a
short stretch on its southern shore, which is part of the territory of Somalia. There are also
several small islands in the Gulf. At the entrance of the Gulf lies the largest island of
Moucha, and Maskali, and at the bottom of
the Gulf, separated by a narrow strip of land, are Ghoubbet-el-Kharab and Assal.
Due to
its geographic distribution, the Gulf of Tadjoura’s wildlife is diverse with many fishing
grounds, expansive coral reefs, and copious
pearl oysters. Aside from the reefs, other marine habitats in the Gulf include salt pans, sea
grass beds, and mangroves.
While there is some spectacular marine fauna and flora in the
Gulf, some is near extinction or at
serious environmental risk, including corals and Dugongs.
The coral reefs in the Gulf
attract many divers and snorkellers and accounts for about 40% of the foreign tourists visiting
Djibouti. The Gulf of Tadjoura is believed
to be an ideal location for snorkelling with whale sharks and underwater photography. Tadjoura
is also surrounded by the scenic green Goda Mountains that are around 1,700 metres high.
