Lac Assal
The Lowest Point in Africa
The intense heat, the seas of salt as far as the eye can see, the striking contrast of the whiteness of white gold with the black lava of the surrounding volcanoes, will captivate the traveller intensely.
Volcanic zone in active operation, the basement is coloured with magmatic crystal galleries. The most recent volcano is only from 1978!
You will be able to observe many geysers spewing a thick vapour of water. A must-see excursion, Lake Assal is accessible from Djibouti in two hours. You can extend your discovery through Goubet and Ardoukoba.
