Ghoubbet al-Kharab (‘the abyss of the Demons”) is a Djiboutian cove separated by a pass with strong current to the Gulf of Tadjourah. Ghoubbet is surrounded by mountains and cliffs of 600 metres high, as well as by the Ardoukoba volcano that separates it from Lake Assal. It is very deep (200 metres) and hosts many fish and sharks that fight the strong currents of the Gulf. This luxuriance attracts fishermen who make the road from the town of Djibouti. The cove is visited by divers and scientists like Captain Cousteau.
Between Ghoubbet al-Kharab and the port of the city of Djibouti, there may be up to one meter of difference at the level of the sea surface. This difference is due to the narrowness of the rapid, but also by the tides and winds.
In the middle of Ghoubbet al-Kharab, two majestic domes stand: les iles du Diable, the Devils islands. These are volcanic islands that constitute a pretty panorama.
