Djibouti, the former French Somaliland, is a small country sandwiched between Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. The construction of the country's capital began under the French in 1888. More than half of the country's population lives in Djibouti City, which acts as an international transit port and refueling center. The town has an Arab flavor, and a colorful market near the mosque in the center of town is the main attraction. It retains elements of African, European and Arab culture. Most travelers visit the country for its desert scenery, interesting sea life and white-sand beaches.
