Blank map of Djibouti

The outline, free as a PNG, SVG or PDF. Label it, colour it in or drop it into a slide.

Using a blank map of Djibouti

Djibouti is a small shape, and this page supplies it in two versions: Outline only, and With borders, which draws the 6 administrative areas. Each is a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF, free to download.

Using a small outline

A small shape suits a slide with space around it. Place the PNG at the left, a title above and three short lines beside it. The transparent background means a coloured or photographic slide shows right up to the edge of the outline. In a design tool, the SVG can be enlarged until the shape fills a page, and each of the six areas can be given its own fill.

Six shapes beside a table

For a report page or a slide, put the With borders PNG beside a table with a row for each of the six areas: Ali Sabieh, Arta, Dikhil, Djibouti, Obock and Tadjourah. The list further down this page gives the spellings.

For a simple cover or title page, the Outline only PNG in one colour, with the country name across the top, is enough.

Choosing

With borders is the political blank map of Djibouti, with areas drawn but not named. Pick Outline only when the lines inside would get in the way.
