Djibouti City is the capital and only major city of the Republic of Djibouti, a tiny nation at the mouth of the Red Sea, home to approximately 600,000 residents — over 60% of the country's total population. It operates on East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3). Djibouti's strategic location at the Bab-el-Mandeb strait — where the Red Sea meets the Gulf of Aden, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes — makes it one of the most strategically important ports in the world. Over 20,000 ships pass through the strait annually, representing about 10% of global trade. Djibouti hosts the only permanent US military base in Africa (Camp Lemonnier), a French military base, and China's first overseas military base (opened 2017). The country also hosts Japanese and Italian military presences. The Port of Djibouti handles 70–80% of Ethiopian goods (Ethiopia being landlocked) as well as cargo for Somalia, South Sudan, and the broader Horn of Africa. Lake Assal, 120km from Djibouti City, is Africa's lowest point (155m below sea level) and one of the world's saltiest lakes.
