About Aleelidada, Djibouti
Aleelidada is a major industrial zone and port city in the Republic of Djibouti, located on the eastern coast of the country near the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb at the southern end of the Red Sea. Its name "Aleelidada" is derived from the local Afar language meaning "land of salt flats", reflecting the region's long tradition of salt production. It is home to one of Djibouti's largest salt flats and is an important pillar of the country's economy, extracting salt for industrial use by solar evaporation of seawater.
Geographic location and strategic importance
Located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe, and in close proximity to Djibouti's main ports and multinational military bases, Alleida is a key node for international shipping and trade. The region is also rich in geothermal resources, and the Djibouti government is actively developing geothermal power projects to promote a clean energy transition. Despite the arid climate and sparse vegetation, its unique volcanic landscape and salt lake attract some adventure travelers.
Economy and future development
As the core area of Djibouti's industrialization plan, Alleida has gradually developed into one of the hubs of the China-Africa trade corridor, relying on port logistics and resource exports. In the future, with the deepening of the "Belt and Road" cooperation and the development of geothermal energy, the region is expected to become an important energy and logistics center in East Africa, further contributing to the diversification of Djibouti's economy.
