It is bordered by Eritrea to the north, Ethiopia to the west and south, and Somalia to the southeast. Djibouti's capital and largest city is Djibouti City, which serves as a major port and the country's economic hub. The nation is known for its diverse ethnic groups, with the Afar and Issa Somali being the two largest communities.
