Delap, Uliga, and Djarrit — universally known as D-U-D — form the continuous urban strip that houses most of Majuro's population and all of its government and commercial infrastructure. The three islets run together so seamlessly that most visitors don't notice the distinctions. This is where you will find the Alele Museum, the cathedral, the main port, the government buildings, banks, and the central market.
Walking D-U-D end to end takes about an hour and gives a clear picture of how a Pacific atoll capital actually functions. The road is rarely more than a few hundred metres wide — you can see the lagoon on one side and the open ocean on the other at almost any point. The density, the noise, and the proximity of the sea make it one of the more unusual urban environments in the Pacific.
