Workation in Obock: the essentials

On the north shore of the Gulf of Tadjoura, Obock was the first French foothold in the area and the colony's capital before Djibouti City took over in the 1890s. Today it is a small coastal town at the edge of a sparsely settled region that reaches Bab-el-Mandeb and the Eritrean border. Yemen lies just across the strait, the town has taken in refugees from there and it is a stop on migration routes. Ferries link it to Djibouti City. The international airport is about 50 km away, but that is a straight line across the water.
