==History==
During the Middle Ages, the Arta Region was ruled by the [[Ifat Sultanate]] and the [[Adal Sultanate]]. It later formed a part of the [[French Somaliland]] protectorate in the first half of the 20th century. [[Loyada]] village has a beautiful beach and a picturesque palm grove and the tombs of great historical leaders of this region. Halfway between Loyada and Djibouti, the small village of [[Damerjog]] and gardens with traditional irrigation systems

==Overview==
This region has an area of around 1,800 square kilometers. According to the 2009 Census, the local population consists of 42,380 individuals, 17,775 of whom are nomads.
Arta was established after the end of the [[Djiboutian Civil War]] in 1994. In 2000, peace talks between various factions of the [[Somali Civil War]] were held in Arta city, resulting in the establishment of the [[Transitional National Government]] of [[Somalia]].
The Region's coast is noted for its marine life, including like turtles, dolphins, whale sharks, manta rays, giant grouper, blue spotted rays and other varieties of sharks. Nestled on the heights of the [[Mountains of Arta|Arta mountains]], more than 700 meters, Arta is the biggest potential in the region, especially thanks to the mild and invigorating climate of the city located only 20 minutes from [[Djibouti city]] with a spectacular view of the [[Gulf of Tadjourah]]. Moreover, the range of Arta and the surrounding coastline has an undeniable tourist future, thanks, especially whale shark who regularly live from October to March .

The climate of Arta Region is generally [[semi-arid]] to [[arid]], and its territory is mostly covered by [[mountain]]s, high plains, and [[desert]]. The climate of the coastal strip is influenced by warm ocean waters, keeping the region free from extremes of temperature and providing moisture for rainfall. However, most of the Arta Region populace experience two weather seasons: a "[[winter]]" period of rather cold and warm temperatures and higher levels of rainfall and a sultry summer period of hot, sticky temperatures.
