Tadjourah Region, Administrative region in northern Djibouti.

The Tadjourah Region extends over 7,300 square kilometers along the Red Sea coast, featuring mountains, desert landscapes, and the Gulf of Tadjourah.

The regional capital connects to Djibouti City via National Route 9 and operates a ferry service across the Gulf of Tadjourah.

Lake Assal, located in the southern part of the region, marks the lowest point in Africa at 155 meters below sea level.
