The Maskali and Moucha Islands, located a short distance from the coast of Djibouti City, are a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. This two-mile stretch is a must-visit for travelers interested in experiencing one of the richest areas in the world for marine life and coral. Take a 30-minute boat ride from the city port to Mask, where you can snorkel and witness an abundance of fish species including surgeonfish, angelfish, parrotfish, napoleon, barracuda, and even sea turtles if you’re lucky. Afterward, visit Moucha Island and relax at Sheraton Beach or explore its mangrove forest, which provides a safe haven for fish and other aquatic life.
