Moroni, Comoros

Capital City

With a population of just 85,400, Moroni is no bustling metropolis. This sleepy capital of the Comoros archipelago is better suited for the adventurous than those seeking modern comforts. The city's tropical climate means frequent cyclones and over 110 inches of annual rainfall - not ideal for the faint of heart. And while the historic Medina district has a certain charm, the lack of maintenance means navigating its maze-like alleys can be a persistent bureaucratic headache. Overall, Moroni offers a glimpse of traditional Comorian life, but it's a destination best suited for the truly intrepid.
