Official travel advisory

2 Exercise Increased Caution

The U.S. State Department places Djibouti at Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution. Our live index reads 78.9/100. That advisory was last revised Mar 6, 2025, 544 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

Terrorism is the principal safety concern in Djibouti, and attacks can occur suddenly with no advance indication, making local news coverage and flexible plans relevant for anyone in the country. A separate, more serious warning covers the strip of land within 10 miles of the Eritrean frontier in the Tadjoura and Obock regions, where Djiboutian government restrictions apply because of tensions along that boundary. Emergency assistance from authorities is limited there, and U.S. government personnel may not travel through the zone after nightfall.
