Aïrolaf is a coastal town in the Tadjourah region of the Republic of Djibouti, located on the southern shore of the Gulf of Tadjourah, about 80 kilometers from the capital, Djibouti City. It has a typical arid tropical climate and is surrounded by a volcanic landscape with a predominantly drought-tolerant shrub vegetation.
With its backdrop of the Ghoda Mountains and its strategic waters at the entrance to the Red Sea, Erolof is an important stopover point connecting the port of Djibouti with the Ethiopian border. The area has a unique landscape of black and white sandy beaches with distinctive tidal fluctuations, and coral reefs and dolphin populations can be seen in the nearby waters.
As a traditional fishing village, Aerolav has a predominantly Afar population, mainly engaged in fishing and small-scale trading. In recent years, due to the construction of the new port in Doha Rey, Djibouti, the area has begun to take over some of the logistics support services. With a population of around 2,000, it retains a distinctive Bedouin nomadic heritage.
The town is connected to Djibouti City by the RN9 highway and the French naval base in Djibouti is nearby. As the construction of the Djibouti International Free Trade Zone progresses, Erolof could be a potential area for future coastal tourism development and an auxiliary hub for Red Sea shipping.
