Ghoubbet-el-Kharab, also known as the "Devil's Cauldron," is a stunning bay in Djibouti known for its volcanic landscape and deep blue waters. It's a prime location for observing whale sharks, especially during the cooler months from November to February. Accessibility to the site can be challenging, often requiring a 4x4 vehicle due to the rough terrain. While solo visits are possible, engaging a local guide is highly recommended to navigate the area safely and maximize wildlife spotting opportunities. The cost of a visit can vary widely depending on transportation, guide services, and potential diving or snorkeling excursions, but expect to spend at least $100-$300 USD per day. A typical visit lasts from a few hours to a full day, depending on the activities planned.
