History And City Tour

Half day history and city tour

This tour provide an interesting combination of history, culture of Moroni city

Moroni

The sleepy capital Moroni is a delightful little town perched on the edge of the Indian Ocean and surrounded by fishing boats in its harbour. 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, reminiscent of those that can be found on Zanzibar. 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.
