Snorkel alongside whale sharks feeding just offshore, then explore a French-Somali port city where Legionnaires' cafes meet East African markets.
November to January is peak season for juvenile whale sharks gathering in the Gulf of Tadjoura, often reachable by boat within minutes of the marina. The city itself is compact and hot, with French, Somali, and Yemeni influences overlapping everywhere.
