While in Djibouti, I had the opportunity to visit Moucha Island, situated about 30 minutes by boat from the Port of Djibouti. Organized through the Sheraton, everything from my initial inquiry earlier in the week, to the return boat ride back form the island at sunset on a Friday evening was seamless, a testament to the support of Zeinab and her team. Departing Port de Peche at around 9am on Friday morning, we headed across the Gulf of Tadjoura, gliding over the sea as we approached the island. On the boat were two coolers full of food and drinks, which, throughout the day, I was able to enjoy, freshly cooked meats on the barbeque, and ice-cold sodas on the Sheraton’s beach. With a number of lounge chairs situated underneath thatched umbrellas, I was able to keep cool from the overhead sun as I lay reading, listening to the waves play upon the sand. Occasionally getting up and taking intermitted turns to go swimming in the warm water, throughout the day, I remained carefree as I relaxed on Moucha Island. The Sheraton was organized from start to finish, with a safe boat, a beautiful setting, and delicious food. I would repeat myself, and of course would recommend to anyone looking for a nice day-trip to Moucha Island while visiting Djibouti.
