One of the hottest locations on the planet, Djibouti offers the story of creation for all to see. While it is a blessing for archaeologists, Djibouti is also a draw for marine scientists. The Red Sea is home to a multitude of corals notable for their resistance to heat. This country is a haven of peace in a strategic region. 

Renowned for its warm welcome, like the European Union, Djibouti, whose motto is "Unity, Equality, Peace" is a home for diverse communities. Djibouti gained independence over 40 years ago and the European Union, as we know it today, is over 60 years old.
