National Highway 6 (Djibouti)

National Highway 6 (RN-6) is a primary road in Djibouti, connecting the capital city, Djibouti City, to the town of Galafi, located on the border with Ethiopia. It is a crucial transportation artery for the country, facilitating trade and passenger traffic between Djibouti and its landlocked neighbor. The highway runs in a generally northwest direction from Djibouti City. Given Djibouti's small size and limited road network, RN-6 represents a significant portion of the nation's overall transportation infrastructure. Its maintenance and upkeep are vital for Djibouti's economic and social well-being. The route traverses diverse landscapes, reflecting Djibouti's arid and semi-arid environment.
