* further on, you face the only road leading to Ouea, Arta or further south in the country along the National 1
**from this second roundabout (located after the stadium) you should not take any ride that does not leave Djibouti. The remaining urban extension of Djibouti City consists of the Industrial area, Refugee camp and Ethiopia Trucker Services which are all reputed as a dangerous corner of the city.**accept or ask if someone either drives to:***the National 1 Police Control Post, which is located in the desert about 10km outside of Djibouti City and controls all incoming and outgoing traffic.***Arta Crossroad or to Ouea
Remain Careful of the 'Green' Taxi whom charges exorbitant prices as they are used to drive French Legionnaire to Ouea at any price.
