Is it safe to travel to Djibouti, Africa? Yes and no. According to U.S. Passports

The country’s climate consists of a desert terrain with hot summers and average winters. The seasons give away even bigger effects on the geography, hot, dry summers from June to August offer the risk of dehydration or heat exhaustion, confining people indoors during early afternoon (World Travel Guide). The winters on the other hand are mild and overcast, which could make the area look dull (World Travel Guide). Geography and climate have made many huge impacts on how the country looks depending on the

From the Saharan desert in the North, to the savannah plains in the central region, to the more fertile soil and rivers that feed into Lake Chad in the Southwest, Chad is the fifth largest country in Africa. According to the World Fact Book “the country is comparatively slightly 3 times the size of California”. With two seasons, the rainy season from late April to September (depending on the length of the rainy season which can vary), and the summer season for the rest of the year, Chad is home to around 11.5 million people.

There are several countries which are located within the Combined Joint Task Force- Horn of Africa AOR. This paper will discuss the cultural influence of the Republic of Djibouti as well as its influence on bordering countries within its region. Additionally, this paper will portray Djibouti’s global significance and its effect on United States interest within the AOR. Historically, Djibouti’s strategic location and status as a free trade zone within the Horn of Africa has played a major role in this country’s importance throughout the globe. Hence, Djibouti maintains relationships with numerous countries and to date openly welcomes negotiations with other countries that can contribute to the country’s economic development. Continued

Climate: Africa contains both the world’s largest desert (the Sahara) and the world 's longest river (the Nile).Temperatures are highest in desert areas, particularly the Sahara. They are cooler across the south and in mountainous areas and plateau highlands. Rainfall varies dramatically across Africa.Changing weather patterns, however patterns of weather are changing, both locally and across the continent. The Sahara is the world 's largest low-latitude hot desert. The area is located in the horse latitudes under the subtropical ridge, a significant belt of semi-permanent subtropical, warm-core high pressure where the air from the upper levels of the troposphere tends to sink towards the ground. This steady descending airflow causes a warming and a drying effect in the upper troposphere. The sinking air prevents evaporating water from rising and, therefore, prevents the adiabatic cooling, which makes cloud formation extremely difficult to nearly impossible.

The infrastructure in Djibouti is also mixed in its performance. 2000 miles of road are covered in Djibouti but only around 50 percent of them are paved. Overall Djibouti has a lot of work to do in several different areas in order for it to be more developed. (Brittanica, Schrader)
