The coastline is 372 kilometers long. The land area is 23,200 square kilometers. Known as "living specimens in geology".

Climate characteristics of Djibouti Most of Djibouti has a tropical desert climate, and the interior is close to the savanna climate. It is hot and rainy all year round. April to 10 is a high temperature season, with an average temperature of 37℃ and a maximum temperature of over 45℃.

Djibouti is poor in natural resources, including salt, limestone, perlite and geothermal resources. The total reserves of salt mines are about 2 billion tons, mainly distributed in asare Salt Lake. Limestone and gypsum are high-quality mines with shallow burial, large reserves and easy development. The estimated reserves of perlite are 48 million tons; Gold-bearing structures have been discovered in four inland areas. Oil-bearing structures have been found in coastal areas. Geothermal resources are abundant, but it is difficult to develop because of the high salt content of groundwater.
