Welcome to Djibouti—a small, culturally rich nation in the Horn of Africa, shaped profoundly by Islamic traditions and African heritage. About 94% of Djiboutians are Sunni Muslims following the Shafi‘i school of thought, while Christians—mainly Roman Catholics and Protestants—make up around 6%, alongside a few who practice traditional beliefs. In Djibouti, Islam shapes daily life: the five daily calls to prayer echo across the land, and Friday’s congregational prayer, Jumu‘ah, brings communities together—often pausing business and social activity. During Ramadan—the holiest month—muslims fast from dawn to sunset. Visitors are respectfully expected to refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking in public, as work schedules shorten and a spiritual atmosphere envelops the country. Religious festivals like Eid al‑Fitr—marking the end of Ramadan—and Eid al‑Adha—commemorating Prophet Ibrahim's devotion—fill the streets with joy. Think prayers, new clothes, festive meals, charity, and deepened community bonds. That’s Djibouti—where religious heritage, everyday life, and shared respect weave a story worth experiencing.
