Jijiga Travel Guide
Ethiopia
Jijiga is a city of 56,821 people in eastern Ethiopia and the capital of the Somali Region. It is inland, well away from the country’s coastline, so beach trips are not part of a visit here.
Travellers arriving by air use Jigiga Airport (JIJ), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Jijiga, so plan around the city and the surrounding inland region rather than the coast.
