Practical information : Treat yourself (& others) Djibouti
Timetable
The stores are open every day from 7am to 12:30pm and from 4pm to 6pm to 7pm, on Fridays some remain open, especially in the afternoon. Large stores such as Géant Casino, Casino, Al Gamil are open every day until 10pm. During the Ramadan period, the opening hours are adapted and the shopping streets become livelier especially at the end of the day. An atmosphere that we like.
What's very local
Incense, excellent Harar coffee from Ethiopia, rare spices (cardamom, turmeric, etc.) and dates from the Arabian Peninsula can be found in grocery stores in the old town and in the markets. In the stores and on the markets, haggling is practised, but it remains soft, far from the gambling that can sometimes last for hours in certain North African countries, for example.
Tourist traps
It goes without saying, but it's always better to say it, don't bring back any khat in your suitcases, even just a few leaves! Khat is now illegal in 16 of the 27 countries of the European Union, including France. Its use, possession, transfer or acquisition, in any form whatsoever, has been prohibited and punishable by imprisonment since 1995.
