About this experience
The Comoros is a volcanic archipelago off Africa’s east coast, in the warm Indian Ocean waters of the Mozambique Channel. The nation state’s largest island, Grande Comore (Ngazidja) is ringed by beaches and old lava from active Mt. Karthala volcano. Around the port and medina in the capital, Moroni, are carved doors and a white colonnaded mosque, the Ancienne Mosquée du Vendredi, recalling the islands’ Arab heritage. It became part of the French colonial empire in the end of 19th century before becoming independent in 1975. Officials languages are French and Arabic. Arabic and French are also official languages, along with Comorian. Arabic is widely known as a second language, being the language of Quranic teaching. French is the administrative language and the language of all non-Quranic formal education. Comoros is very unique island found nowhere else and less visited by tourists as it considered untouched and unexplored and also less discovered but absolutely gorgeous and beautiful
