Shopping hours: Daily 0730-1200 and 1600-1900. Special Events Friday is a holiday for offices and government institutions. Djibouti observes all Islamic feasts and holidays. Social Conventions Casual wear is widely acceptable, but visitors are reminded that Djibouti is a Muslim country and certain codes of behaviour should be observed.

A tariff is normally set but visitors will be charged at a higher rate. |
