Yoboki- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Yoboki is a small town in Djibouti's western Dikhil Region, about 179 km from the capital and 59 km northwest of Dikhil. Established as a French military post in 1946, it has historical significance due to its role in colonial military activities and conflicts between government forces and rebels in the 1990s. The town has experienced political unrest, including bomb attacks and military deployments. Despite its remote location, Yoboki remains a waypoint for travelers crossing the arid landscapes of western Djibouti.
