Arta

On the going to reach the lake ASSAL, we will pass by ARTA town where there is a panoramic point on the expanse of the GULF OF TADJOURAH.

Before reaching Lake Assal, take a moment to explore the breathtaking Dimbiya Canyon, a dramatic natural wonder carved deep into the earth by time and wind. Towering cliff walls of layered basalt and sandstone create a maze of rugged beauty, offering spectacular views and a striking contrast to the flat desert plains surrounding it. As you wander along the canyon rim or descend into its depths, you’ll be immersed in Djibouti’s raw geological power where shades of red, brown, and gold reveal millions of years of Earth’s history. The silence here is profound, broken only by the whisper of the wind and the occasional cry of a desert bird. Dimbiya Canyon is a perfect stop for photography lovers and adventure seekers, offering panoramic vistas, unique rock formations, and a glimpse into the country’s untamed landscapes. It’s a place that feels both ancient and alive a hidden gem waiting to be discovered on the road to Lake Assal.
