Please note this package does not include international flight in and out of Moroni. Advance notice of 10 days is required in order to confirm this tour. Day 1: Arrival in Moroni (Grande Comore) Arrival in Moroni, capital of the Comoros Islands and transfer to our hotel. If time permits, we can go on a city tour to explore the famous quiet Medina with its beautiful narrow streets and its old spice market. Overnight at Retaj Moroni Hotel (please note that the Retaj Moroni Hotel does not serve alcohol) The sleepy capital Moroni is a delightful little town perched on the edge of the Indian Ocean and often surrounded by fishing boats in its harbor. The old quarter of the town is a maze of narrow streets that are fantastic to explore, and many buildings still have the traditional carved doors. Moroni's main feature is its ancient Friday Mosque, while its market is a great place to wander around to observe scenes of daily life. Once an important trading town on the Indian Ocean, Moroni has slipped quietly into a forgotten existence where tourists are rare and visitors are treated as a curious novelty. The views out to sea as the sunsets, over tiny ships heading out for an evening's fishing, are unforgettable.
