Delap-Uliga-Djarrit
The capital district formed by three reef islets joined at the eastern end of Majuro, home to government offices, the harbor, craft shops and restaurants.
Delap, Uliga and Djarrit are three reef islets joined by reclaimed-land roads, collectively known as DUD. Together they form the political and commercial center of the Marshall Islands, and government buildings such as the parliament building are on the Delap side. The urban area is long and narrow, and you can see most of it on foot or by hopping on a hail-and-ride shared taxi (about US$1 per trip). Craft shops sell pandanus-leaf woven baskets, shell jewelry and replicas of stick charts. At the harbor you can watch fishing boats and offshore tuna transshipment. In the evening, eat tuna sashimi at restaurants by the lagoon. Sanitation in the urban area is fair, so drink bottled water.
