Comoros

About Comoros

Comoros, officially known as the Union of the Comoros, is a small island nation located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa, between Mozambique and Madagascar. It consists of three main islands—Grande Comore (Ngazidja), Mohéli (Mwali), and Anjouan (Nzwani)—and numerous smaller islets. Known for its stunning volcanic landscapes, lush forests, and pristine beaches, Comoros is often referred to as the "Perfume Islands" due to its production of fragrant spices like ylang-ylang, vanilla, and cloves. The country has a rich cultural heritage influenced by African, Arab, and French traditions, with Islam being the dominant religion. Despite its natural beauty, Comoros faces challenges such as political instability, economic struggles, and limited infrastructure. The capital, Moroni, located on Grande Comore, is a bustling hub of activity and serves as the political and cultural center of the nation. Comoros remains one of the least-visited countries in the world, offering a unique and off-the-beaten-path experience for adventurous travelers.
