Land and Resources
Djibouti consists principally of arid plateaus. Inland, the terrain is broken by a series of saltwater basins. To the north of the Gulf of Tadjoura, which deeply indents the country's coast, lie several mountain ranges with heights of about 1525 to 1830 m (about 5000 to 6000 ft). Djibouti has a hot desert climate. The temperature at Djibouti (city) averages 26° C (78° F) in January and 36° C (96° F) in July. Annual rainfall ranges from 130 mm (5 in) at Djibouti to about 380 mm (about 15 in) in the mountains. Limited deposits of copper, gypsum, and iron ore exist but are not exploited.
