Randa (in Arabic, راندا) is a small valley in the Day massif, at an altitude of 842 m (2,762 ft), in the district of Tadjourah. It is formed by the seasonal river of the same name, and in it is the city of Randa (just over 1,000 inhabitants), whose aerial view appears on the stamp, surrounded by high and irregular mountains.
