Таджура
Along with Forêt du Day, the Mabla Mountains are one of Djibouti's two remnant areas of closed forest. The range is located in the Obock Region, west of Obock, a port town. At above sea level, the mountains are situated behind the coastal plain where the Red Sea meets the Gulf of Aden. They lie on the northern side of the Gulf of Tadjoura, and are characterized as a highland region.
