About this site
The site called Canyon lies near the Moucha and Maskali Islands in the Gulf of Tadjoura, part of Djibouti's coast off the Arabian Sea. These islands sit a short boat ride from Djibouti City, with the gulf's waters forming a sheltered stretch between the mainland and the Bab-el-Mandeb strait further east.
